BARENAKED LADIES LYRICS - A Word For That

"A Word For That"



There's a word for that

But I don't seem to know it

Sometimes I grow a mustache

Just so I don't have to show it



The word for that

That someone somewhere chose

For that little dented skin

Between my upper lip and nose



There's a word for that

What does it start with, the word for that?

I'd sound so smart if I only knew

The word for that, perhaps you do



The word you're looking for is philtrum



There's a word for that

It may come to me soon

It dangles down in my mouth

And is often in cartoons



The word for that

It seems like such a drag

To not know what to call

That little fleshy punching bag



There's a word for that

What does it start with, the word for that?

I'd sound so smart if I only knew

The word for that, perhaps you do



Do you mean uvula?



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 wouldn't quote

It likely stops my tongue

From disappearing down my throat



There's a word for that

What does it start with, the word for that?

I'd sound so smart if I only knew

The word for that, perhaps you do



What does it start with, the word for that?

I'd sound so smart if I only knew

The word for that, perhaps you do



Are you nuts, it's frenulum
