Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
                            	    	
I've seen those English dramas too, they're cruel
                  
So if there's any other way
                       		  
To spell the word it's fine with me, with me

                      
Why would you speak to me that way
                 
Especially when I always said that I
               
Haven't got the words for you
                
All your diction dripping with disdain
		                   
Through the pain I always tell the truth

I climbed to Dharamsala too, I did

I met the highest lama
                             
His accent sounded fine, to me, to me

			 	
Check your handbook, it's no trick
			
Take the chapstick, put it on your lips
		
Crack a smile	adjust my tie
                   		 
Know your boyfriend, unlike other guys

                       
Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
                       
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
                       
Why would you lie about anything at all?
                       
First the window, then it's to the wall
                            
Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth

Solo:  |    |    |    |     |    4x

			 	
Check your handbook, it's no trick
			
Take the chapstick, put it on your lips
		
Crack a smile	adjust my tie
                   		 
Know your butler, unlike other guys

                       
Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
                       
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
                       
Why would you lie about anything at all?
                 
First the window, then it's through the wall
                  
Why would you tape my conversations?
			
Show your paintings at the United Nations
                            
Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth
