[Verse 1]
"Ultimate", it's an adjective
It means "last"
And "penultimate"
Well, that means "second to last"
But if I want to say something is third to last
Well, I wasn't sure if we had a word for that
So I got my dictionary and consulted it
And the result of it
Was awesome
You can go, y'all, yo

[Hook]
An-te-pen-ultimate
The one before "penultimate"
That's A-N-T-E-penultimate
Third to last (Uh-huh)
Ante-pentultimate
I put it in my catapult and catapulted it
For an assault of "antepenultimate"
Comin' at ya (Come on)

[Verse 2]
As a kid I learned the word "ultimate"
And as a teen I learned "penultimate"
And it was only just a little while ago
That I learned about "antepenultimate"
So if I want to arrange those words
In the order in which I learned them
I say "ultimate" was the antepenultimate
"Penultimate" was the penultimate
And "antepenultimate" was the ultimate
(Uh!)
And now I'm ultra hip
To the ways of the antepenultimate
Like, antepenultimate Frisbee
Is the third-best game you can play with a disc
And if your mom is the youngest of three girls
You have an Auntie Antepenultimate
And the third to last Muslim kingship
Will be the antepenultimate sultanate, yo!
[Hook]
Antepenultimate (Uh!)
You can't be insultin' it (Uh-uh!)
Don't be anti-antepenultimate
It's all love (Yeah!)
Ante-penultimate
Let's take the hip-hop genre and alter it
Here's my sea shanty for "antepenultimate"
(Three, two, come on)

[Verse 3]
When I was a lad I went to sea
And the sailor's life is the life for me
I rose to the rank of the second mate!
Now I'm the antepenulti-mate
The captain, the first mate
And me, the antepenulti-mate

[Verse 4]
Now I'm about out of time
So I guess this is the antepenultimate line
And this is the penultimate line
And this is the ultimate line
(Uh!)
