[Verse 1]
          G
There's a word for that
    D               G
But I don't seem to know it
    C9          G                 D               G
Sometimes I grow a moustache just so I don't have to show it
( G )
The word for that
     C9
That someone,somewhere chose
         D4                                       G
For that little dented skin between my upper lip and nose

[Chorus]
C9       D4    G
  There's a word for that
     Em7       C9
What does it start with?
  D4    G
A word for that
    Em7        C9    D4  G
I'd sound so smart if I only   knew
    Em7       C9
The word for that
   D4    G
Perhaps you do?
N.C.
(The word you're looking for is philtrum )

[Verse 2]
There's a word for that
It may come to me soon
It dangles down in my mouth, and it's often in cartoons
The word for that
It seems like such a drag
To not know what to call that little fleshy punching bag

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
There's a word for that
It's on the tip of my tongue
Well actually underneath it, and has been since I was young
The word for that
Although I won't quote
It likely stops my tongue from disappearing down my throat

[Chorus] (x2)

[End on G ]
