Rhetorical Figure Songtext
von John Grant

Some people like alliteration
But I know it′s been an assonance man
Ah-eh-ah-oh-ah
Ah-eh-ah-oh-ah
Ah-eh-ah-oh-ah-ah-ah
Ah-eh-ah-oh-ah
Ah-eh-ah-oh-ah-ah
Some people like to go on vacation
I decline and conjugate therefore I am
Essen-ab-Gegessen, flechten-floght-gefloghten
Gieben-goss-gegossen, klingen-klang-geklungen, helfen-half-geholfen

If you want to get with me
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rhetorical figure
If you want to get up on this
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rethorical figure
Rhetorical figure (rhetorical figure)
Rhetorical figure (rhetorical figure)


Epizeuxis, epizeuxis, epizeuxis, epizeuxis
We use it a lot, but the spell kind of spooks us
You constant employment of analogy
Is a turn on that is certainly not lost on me

If you want to get with me
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rhetorical figure
If you want to get up on this
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rethorical figure
Rhetorical figure (rhetorical figure)
Rhetorical figure (rhetorical figure)

You're an expert when it comes to using paraprosdokians
Unlike so many of your fellow Americans

I love the way you use aposiopesis
Much more than when you make use of antirrhesis


If you want to get with me
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rhetorical figure
If you want to get up on this
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rhetorical figure
If you want to know the truth
I prefer a rhetorical figure
A rhetorical figure
If you want to get up on this
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rethorical figure
Rhetorical figure (rhetorical figure)
Rhetorical figure (rhetorical figure)

So many people chasing sacagaweas
Me I′d rather have a bunch of onomatopoeias
Yhap, splat, gurgle, gurgle
Yhap, splat, gurgle, gurgle
Yhap, splat, gurgle, gurgle
Yhap, splat, gurgle, gurgle
