This song is available on Danny Weinkauf's album Words.
I’d like to tell you something as a matter of course
but right now I’m so hungry I could eat a horse
My grandma stays so healthy takes her vitamin pills
That’s why my dad keeps saying she’s as old as the hills
(Chorus
All these exaggerations tell me what can they be
When they are used for emphasis
It’s hyperbole
All these exaggerations such a puzzle to me
when they are used to make a point
That’s hyperbole, hyperbole, hyperbole
(Chorus)
My friend ate so much pizza I asked him how does it fit
He told me that his stomach is a bottomless pit
Went hopping in our garden like a couple of frogs
Until it started raining down like cats and dogs
(Chorus)
(guitar solo)
My girlfriend’s name is Shelly she’s as sharp as a pin She’s skinny as a toothpick and as fast as the wind
She lugs around her backpack - man, that thing weighs a ton But reading Harry Potter makes her shine like the sun
(Chorus x 2)
