Lyrics:

I'm a word makin' machine
I was built to talk
My words are like a fancy car
I don't have to walk

A car uses power
To turn the wheels
I use my words to express the way I feel

My brain is like the starter
That's where the word begins
Air in the lungs is gasoline
Gotta let that fuel on in

My voice box is the motor
An engine makin' sound
Then my lips and teeth and tongue
Move the sound around

I'm a word makin' machine
From start to finish and everything in between
Too cool to go fast
I'm just cruisin' the scene
I'm a word makin' machine
