	  		G 
There's a word for that 
    D               G 
But I don't seem to know it 
    C              G 
Sometimes I grow a mustache 
        D               G 
Just so I don't have to show it 

The word for that 
     C 
That someone somewhere chose 
         D7   
For that little dented skin 
           D             G 
Between my upper lip and nose 

 
C         D        G 
There's a word for that 
             C               D        G 
What does it start with, the word for that? 
             C          D    G     
I'd sound so smart if I only knew 
             C        D        G 
The word for that, perhaps you do 
NC 
The word you're looking for is philtrum 

 
          G 
There's a word for that 
   D              G 
It may come to me soon 
   C               G 
It dangles down in my mouth 
       D           G 
And is often in cartoons 

The word for that 
   C 
It seems like such a drag 
   D7 
To not know what to call 
            D               D 
That little fleshy punching bag 

 
C         D        G 
There's a word for that 
             C               D        G 
What does it start with, the word for that? 
             C          D    G     
I'd sound so smart if I only knew 
             C        D        G 
The word for that, perhaps you do 
NC 
Do you mean uvula? 

 
          G 
There's a word for that 
     D             G 
It's on the tip of my tongue 
      C             G 
Well, actually underneath it 
    D                G 
And has been since I was young 

The word for that 
  C 
Although I wouldn't quote 
   D7 
It likely stops my tongue 
     D                    G 
From disappearing down my throat 

 
C         D        G 
There's a word for that 
             C               D        G 
What does it start with, the word for that? 
             C          D    G     
I'd sound so smart if I only knew 
             C        D        G 
The word for that, perhaps you do 

             C               D        G 
What does it start with, the word for that? 
             C          D    G     
I'd sound so smart if I only knew 
             C        D        G 
The word for that, perhaps you do 
NC 
Are you nuts? it's frenulum.
