Chapter And Verse

[Verse 1]

I got the dictionary in my hand

But I can't seem to find the word I'm looking for

I've checked every letter, now I'm up to z

There just ain't anymore

I've got a million choices in my head

If I could only chose the one that says it best

I shelled out a quarter for a greeting card

Now I can't seem to get my pen to do the rest

[Chorus]

But I know it all by heart, chapter and verse

I'll quote you any part, every word

But it's so deep inside it can't be heard

[Verse 2]

I've got the Sunday paper in my hand

And I've been working on the weekly cryptogram

I know there's a message in between the lines

That's the same way I am

I got the crossword puzzle half complete

But now I need another word four letters long

It's just like the way I want a perfect fit

I can settle for less but all of them are wrong

[Chorus]

But I know it all by heart, chapter and verse

I'll quote you any part, every word

But it's so deep inside it can't be heard

[Bridge]

There could be no jealousy over my poetry

It's my weakest quality, no vocabulary

[Verse 3]

I got the Scrabble letters in a pile

But there could never be enough to say it all

I know you don't wanna hear the same old line

So you'll just have the read the writing on the wall

[Chorus]

And I know it all by heart, chapter and verse

I'll quote you any part, every word

But it's so deep inside it can't be heard

[Outro]

And I know it all by heart, chapter and verse

I'll quote you any part, every word

And I know it all by heart, chapter and verse

I'll quote you any part, every word

But I know it all by heart, chapter and verse

I'll quote you any part, every word

And I know it all by heart, chapter and verse

I'll quote you any part, yes I will, every word

Yes I know it all, know it all, I know it all by heart...
