A Word For That

by Eros ramazzotti

There's a word for that.
But I don't seem to know it.
Sometimes I grow a mustache
Just so I don't have to show it.
There's a word for that.
That someone somewhere chose.
For that little dented skin
Between my upper lip and nose.
There's a word for that!
What does it start with?
I'd sound so smart if
I only knew the word for that.
Perhaps you do.
The word you're looking for is philtrum!
There's a word for that.
It may come to me soon.
It dangles down in my mouth
And it's often in cartoons.
There's a word for that.
It seems like such a drag
To not know what to call
That little fleshy punching bag.
There's a word for that!
What does it start with?
I'd sound so smart if
I only knew the word for that.
Perhaps you do.
Do you mean uvula?
There's a word for that.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
Well actually underneath it
And it has been since I was young.
The word for that,
Although I wouldn't quote,
It likely stops my tongue
From disappearring down my throat.
There's a word for that!
What does it start with?
I'd sound so smart if
I only knew the word for that.
Perhaps you do.
What does it start with?
(The word for that)
I'd sound so smart if
I only knew the word for that.
Perhaps you do.
Are you nuts? It's frenulum.
