A Songtext
von Barenaked Ladies

A is for angry, which is what you are at me
A is for adult, which is what I′ll never be
A is for applesauce, my favorite meal
A is for Adam, which is how I sometimes feel;
Like I'm the only man on earth and I′ve forgotten what that's worth

A is for Arthur, he's a lovable drunk
Amazing like Thelonius Monk
A is for argument, A is for apparent
A is for antagonism that′s not even there and
It′s just you begging for attention or something I won't even mention.

(Chorus)
And I don′t even know why you keep on trying
I don't even know why I keep on lying
There are millions of people in worlds of their own
And two of them can′t let go.


A is for algebra, I learned it in school
A is what Fonzie said, 'cause he was very cool.
A is for adversery, A is for election
A is arousal, you are giving me an erection
C′mon I'm trying to show affection for longer than a half an hour.

(Chorus)

I met a woman I used to know
Long before you, long ago
All I could say, after hello
Was "are you still single?"

A is attitude I can't help but wield
A is for arrogance; emotional shield
A is for acting, A is for abhorrently
A is for asshole, which is what I am, how rude of me,
I owe you an apology I′m sorry

(Chorus)

Here we go
A
