The Benefits Of Language

When you've got some seasoning that I need,
 I just ask you to pass it and you hand it to me
 Then, I can put it on my sandwich
 This is a benefit of language
 When Glinda saw Dorothy fall out of the sky,
 And she didn't know how; she had no idea why,
 But she could ask, "Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?"
 This is a benefit of language
 Well, Contracting your diaphragm forces a column of air through your larynx and your vocal cords, which can vibrate at one of a number of frequencies
 When you broke my heart and you threw it away,
 I checked into the hospital the very next day
 I asked the doctor for a bandage
 This is a benefit of language
 But, when colorless green ideas sleep furiously,
 Well, it just sounds like bad Bob Dylan to me
 There's no deep structure from my vantage,
 Although, syntactically, it's language
 Yeah, using your lips and your tongue, not to mention your uvula, you can produce many sounds which are then strung together and turned into human speech
 Well, when I'm feeling hungry, but I don't want to cook,
 I just sit on my couch and I pick up a book
 And then I soon forget I'm famished
 Another benefit of language
 And, when I've got some subject that I hold dear,
 I just put it in a song and I know that you'll hear
 And then I don't feel so much anguish
 The biggest benefit of language
 If it's a benefit, then I'll take ten of it
 These are the benefits of language
