[Verse 1]
I’ve been afraid of big words since I was a kid
I thought that I’d get over it; somehow I never did
Usually it’s no big deal but every now and then
"You’re audaciously loquacious!" (ahh!); it kicks in again
I went to a specialist and said what’s wrong with me
"Based upon your test results, it’s not hard to see
You’re afraid of lengthy words; you’re not the only one
Here’s what your condition’s called but this won’t be much fun"

[Chorus]
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
If you’re afraid of big long words, here’s one you should know-a
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia!

[Verse 2]
I’m not even joking, believe it or not
Though it’s absurd that’s the word I don’t like it a lot
There’s one thing I know for sure so listen if you please
Whoever came up with the word did not have the disease

[Chorus]
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
If you’re afraid of big long words, here’s one you should know-a
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia!
[Verse 3]
I was in my science class when I started screaming
It was 'cause of a video the teacher was streaming
It was about a lung disease—I hope they all get better
But whoever named it gave it way too many letters

[Spoken Bridge]
I mean, really, who would name a disease—
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis?
Not very sensitive to people who have

[Chorus]
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
If you’re afraid of big long words, here’s one you should know-a
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia!

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
If you’re afraid of big long words, here’s one you should know-a
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia!

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
If you’re afraid of big long words, here’s one you should know-a
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia!
[Outro]
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia!
