I need a, I need a, I need a D. I need a, I need a, I need a G. My baby is a whiz at playing Scrabble; Compared to where he is, I merely dabble. Oh how I wanna defeat him now. Whip his Mensa fanny somehow! Might seem like pie-in-the-sky, But Iʼm gonna try. I got a, I got a, I got a Q, Could use a, could use a, could use a U. He knows the full array of U-less Q words; Every time we play I pick up new words. Really, I feel a, I feel a fool. Big shot went to a Connecticut prep school! Lord knows Iʼll tell the town When I bring him down. Though his body isnʼt awfully sturdy, And his manner is incredibly nerdy, Conversation often overly wordy, Heʼs a heck of a brain. Monday night we played our landlady Dushka While we listened to the score of Petrouchka; Dushka put a double O in “babushka.” You could see his pain. It was just a joke that sank like lead. Sheʼs been known to mess with his head. I gotta, I gotta, I gotta think. Iʼd love a, Iʼd love a, Iʼd love a drink. My baby has the game of Scrabble mastered. His mastery the same when heʼs half- plastered. Damn it! How can I be such a dunce? I long to clobber Einstein just once. Iʼll find a joy divine When that win is mine. Playing Scrabble, Seven letters, not one more, Playing Scrabble, When you pass 500, thatʼs a score.These tiles are looking pretty good! Oh yeah. Now weʼre talkinʼ! Iʼm in it, Iʼm in it, Iʼm in the zone. Remembering some words I have never known. Tonight I have a certain way of playing Scrabble; No longer will I say I merely dabble. Winning the battle with every square, Hardly notice Hotshotʼs over there. My world is not the same. What a glorious game! Happy day! Got a major play. Am I doing it? Yes I am, Iʼm spelling out “OXAZEPAM.” Thatʼs a tranquilizer— 392 points!
