[Verse 1]

You got the right pronunciation

You got the meaning all wrong

It's my, my first edition

Revise it if you like

But just remember it's a young man's book of bones

[Pre-Chorus]

There's more to me than the words I read

Is it a language that's new to you?

And if you open your eyes instead of your legs

I wouldn't have to spell it out for you

[Chorus]

She just loves me for my big dictionary

She wants my vocabulary

Complete from A to Z

She just loves me for my big dictionary

Mary, Mary's quite contrary

The sorest girl you've ever seen

[Verse 2]

Can you ride my composition?

It's a tongue-in-cheek religion

That I simply just made up

Maybe it's my, my superstition

You don't love me for my rhyme

Well, you know it's just my luck

[Pre-Chorus]

There's more to me than the words I read

Is it a language that's new to you?

And if you open your eyes instead of your legs

I wouldn't have to spell it out for you

[Chorus]

She just loves me for my big dictionary

She wants my vocabulary

Complete from A to Z

She just loves me for my big dictionary

Mary, Mary's quite contrary

The sorest girl you've ever seen

[Bridge]

"Hey there, sunflower

If I was to let your fingers do the walking through my fellow pages

Would you know what they mean?"

"Oh yes I would, I know I would and between them I'll read"

[Chorus]

She just loves me for my big dictionary

She wants my vocabulary

Complete from A to Z

She just loves me for my big dictionary

Mary, Mary's quite contrary

The sorest girl you've ever seen

She just loves me for my big dictionary

She wants my vocabulary

Complete from A to Z

Well, she just loves me for my big dictionary

Mary, Mary's quite contrary

The sorest girl you've ever seen
