How many words do I know now
that I did not, before?
Or since I was a baby?
Is it 2,000 more?
I really cannot list them, but
they're ready when I talk.
They help me say just what I mean.
Words don't have to shock.

Some people curse and yell, 'cause they
don't know polite words they could say.
I like words that make us friends
and lead us all to better ends.
Some words we do not use a lot,
like presti-digi-tation.
It means "magic." It's fun to say.
A genuine sensation!
