My Friend, the Dictionary

Lyrics

Miss Ostrovsky, your word is "Boanthropy"
 Oh, wait. One second. Please ma'am, could you not sit in that seat?
 I saved a chair for my dad
 In the fourth row on the aisle
 And it may take him a while
 But when he gets here
 That's his chair
 'Cause my mother's in an ashram
 In India
 I saved a chair for her too
 But it's merely symbolic
 As daily she washes herself in the Ganges
 And I live in a house
 Where there's an oversized dictionary
 That I read
 As a girl
 On the toilet
 I love my dictionary
 And I love the indented border
 Every word's in alphabetical order
 Ergo, lost things
 Always can be found
 And I warp my head around
 The fact that in one book
 Is the entire language of our species
 Which is a favourite term of Nicci's
 Who's the great-grandfather of Christina Ricci's?
 Yes I joke, but the words in the dictionary
 Are the friends that I'll have forever
 More than the friends I have made in school
 She's such a lovely girl
 With a lovely little voice
 And I heard that she's pro-choice
 Though still a virgin
 And she talks into her hand
 An often used technique
 What you do not understand
 Is one I say it then I've said it
 And so much to her credit
 She talks into her hand
 And turns aside
 So I will not make a mistake
 And be disqualified
 "Boanthropy"
 B-O-A-N-T-H-R-O-P-Y, "Boanthropy"?
 That is correct
 My friend the dictionary
 Is a very reliable friend
 Doo doo doo doo doo doo
 Ba da da da da da da
