Ponyphonic by Idioglossary Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fritz-y was the T.V., sorta work and sorta doesn't
Like the snowy out the window was the fuzzy on the screen
And snore-y bore-y were the little toys upon the floor-y
And the neighbor kids were always kinda mean
So
Criss-cross sat and chitter-chat, our days were spent converse-y
Intersperse-y little words our very own 'til we'd forget
Just where the English'd end and where our little words began
And ennui aid and time abеt et ceter-еter-ret-tet-tet-tet
(One, two three, four!)
[Chorus]
We take a syllable, the funnier the better
And we say it 'til we make it be a word
Lexicon of beg and borrow, Idioglossary are-oh
Isn't it the bestest thing you've ever ever heard?
Understood by no one but the two of us
And you know what I mean when all I'm saying is
Ah-la-oh-wah-ah-oh
It's something magical, absurd, and so much fun
This thing that we both know
[Verse 2]
So we made a language and we meant to keep it secret
But the words were so hilarious we had to share them all
We put it alphabetic, and we gave 'em definitions
And we wrote 'em out in crayon on the wall
Well
Momma didn't really take a liking to the mural
Truly, artistry is never understood within its day
But maybe in the end we like it better as an enigmatic
Game that only we can play, it's siblinguistic anyway
[Chorus]
We take a syllable, the funnier the better
And we say it 'til we make it be a word
Lexicon of beg and borrow, Idioglossary are-oh
Isn't it the bestest thing you've ever ever heard?
Understood by no one but the two of us
And you know what I mean when all I'm saying is
Ah-la-oh-wah-ah-oh
It's something magical, absurd, and so much fun
This thing that we both know
[Refrain]
Understood by no one but the two of us
And you know what I mean when all I'm saying is
Ah-la-oh-wah-ah-oh
It's something magical, absurd, and so much fun
This thing that we both know
Fritz-y was the T.V., sorta work and sorta doesn't

And snore-y bore-y were the little toys upon the floor-y
