I know I'm not one to learn languages
Only really know two, "English" and "grumpy"
Don't know German at all, or Spanish or French
I cannot read hand signs except the finger, please
This ain't a slight, don't get me wrong
Might just be me cause I do not know squat
Don't really listen anyway

But I think that you are too verbose to talk to
Can't understand a thing you say
What's this "paramour", that's a word, you're sure?
I thought that band made it up
Might be me, but you are too verbose to talk to
Please dumb down what you say

I'm not a big fan of your fancy words
Words like "egregious" make my head turn
Words I cannot say, make me confused
Don't say "laconic", don't know what that means, dude
There has to be a simpler phrase

Yes, I think that you are too verbose to talk to
Your words, they have me stumped for days
My speech, you "abhor", that's a word, you're sure?
Thanks for the migraine, ol' bud
See, I think that you are too verbose to talk to
What is "ersatz", explain

What is "hubris", explain

Man, I think that you are too verbose to talk to
Though there's one thing that I must explain
May not know "implore", but I know for sure
You taught one thing to me, bud
You may have taught me the word "verbose", that is true
Don't know the rest, okay

Please dumb down what you say
"Apoplectic", explain
