Usin' words that you have known
For half a minute means
You may not have them quite right
Boostin' your maturity
By usin' long words? Please
That doesn't work when each time

The wrong emphasis, the wrong emphasis, see
You always use the wrong emphasis, see
Managed to work out what each word means, but please
Look like a tool, the wrong emphasis, see

So come on, check your diction'ry
Cause etymologies
Aren't all that's there, you see
Each word (word) has (has) a key guide that should (should)
Help (help) you pronounce them good
But you just blunder through it, don't you?
I know you

The wrong emphasis, the wrong emphasis, see
Hate when you use the wrong emphasis, see
You're actin' so proud, that grin is filled with cheese
Ignorant fool, the wrong emphasis, see
I know you're tryin' hard to seem like you're legit
Tryin' way too hard to not look like a twit
It's good to try hard to increase intellect
But it's now a farce

Examples? Won't repeat them, please
'Cause one more brain freeze
Could be permanent for me

The wrong emphasis, the wrong emphasis, see
No-one should use the wrong emphasis, see
Yes, I've done the same now so you'll get why I'm peeved
At all those who use the wrong emphasis, see
Oh-oh, yeah-eah

So sick of you (the wrong emphasis, see)
Such a great fool
Because you use the wrong emphasis, see
