[Verse 1]

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?

I've seen those English dramas too; I did

So if there's any other way to spell the [?]

It's fine with me, with me


[Chorus 1]

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


[Verse 2]

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?

I climbed to Dharamsala too, I did

I met the highest Lama

His accent sounded fine to me, to me


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Take your passport, it's no trick

Take the chapstick, put it on your lips

Crack a smile, adjust my tie

Know your boyfriend, unlike other guys


[Chorus 2]

Why would you lie 'bout how much coal you have?

Why would you lie about something dumb likе that?

Why would you lie 'bout anything at all?

First the window, then it's to thе wall

Lil Jon, he always tells the truth


[Instrumental Bridge]


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Check your passport, it's no trick

Take the chapstick, put it on your lips

Crack a smile, adjust my tie

Know your butler, unlike other guys


[Chorus 3]

Why would you lie 'bout how much coal you have?

Why would you lie about something dumb like that?

Why would you lie 'bout anything at all?

First the window, then it's to the wall

Why would you tape my conversations?

Show your paintings at the United Nations

Lil Jon, I always tells the truth
