[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
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 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
[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Do you mean uvula?

[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 wouldn't quote
It likely stops my tongue
From disappearing down my throat

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Are you nuts? It's frenulum
