 ______________
 / Jason Mraz / This song was the first single off the Mr. A-Z album. There
 / Wordplay / were great expectations from the record company and the rest
 / Mr. A-Z / of the industry for this album to be a financial success. Here
 /_____________/ Mraz expresses the dilemma of holding on to the innocence in
 music when he is expected to make a serious commercial success.

 Chorus
 
 Chorus (fade out on Cadd9)
 
 I've been all around the world
 I've been a new sensation
 But it doesn't really matter in this ge-generation
 The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
 And someone said that ain't my scene
 'Cause they need a new song
 Like a new religion
 Music for the television
 I can't do the long division
 Someone do the math
 For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
 Got to find another way to live the life of leisure
 So I drop my top
 Mix and I mingle
 Is everybody ready for the single and it goes
 
 Ha-la-la-la-la
 Now listen closely to the verse I lay
 Ha-la-la-la-la
 It's all about the wordplay
 Ha-la-la-la-love
 The wonderful thing it does
 Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
 Yeah, the Mister A to Z
 They say I'm all about the wordplay
 
 When it's time to get ill, I got your remedy
 For those who don't remember me
 Well, let me introduce you to my style
 I try to keep a jumble
 And the lyrics never mumble
 When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
 You want a new song
 Like a new religion
 Music for the television
 I can't do the long division
 Someone do the math
 For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
 Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
 Pull out the stops
 Got your attention
 I guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay
 
 Ha-la-la-la-la
 Now listen closely to the verse I lay
 Ha-la-la-la-la
 It's all about the wordplay
 Ha-la-la-la-love
 The wonderful thing it does
 Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
 Yeah, the Mister A to Z
 They say I'm all about the wordplay
 
 I built a bridge across the stream my consciousness
 It always seems to be a flowin'
 But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
 Oh the ryhmin' and the timin'
 Keeps the melodies inside me
 And they're comin'
 Till I'm running out of air
 Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
 Are you listening to a single word I've said
 
 Ha-la-la-la-la
 Listen closely to the words I say
 Ha-la-la-la-la
 I'm stickin' to the wordplay
 Ha-la-la-la-love
 The wonderful thing it does
 Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
 Yeah, the Mister A to Z
 They say I'm all about the wordplay
 
 Ha-la-la-la-la
 I'm all about the wordplay
 Ha-la-la-la-la
 Stickin' with the wordplay
 Ha-la-la-la-love
 I love the wonderful thing it does
 Because, because the ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's fall back in love
 For the Mister A to Z
 They say is all about the wordplay
