Rhetorical Figure - John Grant

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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)

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
If you want to 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)

[Outro]
So many people chasing sacagaweas
Me I'd rather have a bunch of onomatopoeias
Thwap, splat, gurgle, gurgle
Thwap, splat, gurgle, gurgle
Thwap, splat, gurgle, gurgle
Thwap, splat, gurgle, gurgle
