Lyrics

I am the very model of a modern major lyricist: a quantifying, memorizing, polymath empiricist.

Assimilation of statistics: I couldn't be greedier.
Regurgitating trivia: I couldn't be speedier.
I've got the box-set of Q.I. and other forms of tedia. I've glass bead gamed through Wikipedia and absorbed recondite data through all kinds of media.
My beard is august and my jacket couldn't be tweedier.
Was that pedagogue or pederast? Either way I couldn't be seedier.

I shudder at and sneer at, shrink from, shirk and eschew, I rise well above and steer well clear of all the academic accolades I so consistently accrue.
Voted the Readers' Digest star letter of the year ... in 2002.
I can make almost any cryptic clue in the Metro crossword clear; I'm quite nifty at Countdown and at Fifteen-To-One too.
I've read most of the York Notes concerning Shakespeare, it's true.
Which is why your posterior's making impact with my perfectly polished shoe.

I am the very model of a modern major lyricist: a quantifying, memorizing, polymath empiricist.

Ram ram, Namaste. Ap kesi hain? Tike? Ap the GHT janta? Ha, yeh badya hai!
Oui! Je parle Hindi mais c'est ne pas la seule langue que je parle,
pour quoi? Vous aussi parlez? J'espère que vous êtes énervé et prêts.
- Gotowe jestESH moj colego? Tak-idzeme-ras-dwa-tche.
Ni suo zhong wen ma? DUI wo-de pongyou, Wo shui. Moksha Man lai tan tan hao ma tai feng-de lei.
Soy el torro que nunca mataron y el matador di dios- Ole!
And I'd be rapping in Esperanto if I could only think of something to say.

I am the very model of a modern major lyricist: a quantifying, memorizing, polymath empiricist.
