I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter
In this ge-generation
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said that ain't my scene
'Cause they need a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure
So I drop my top,
Mix and I mingle
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...
Ha La La La La
L-listen closer to the verse I lay
Ha La La La La
It's all about the wordplay
Ha La La La love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
When it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble And the lyrics never mumble
When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
You want a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
Pull out the stops,
Got your attention
I guess it's time again for me to mention
The wordplay
Ha La La La La
L-listen closer to the verse I lay
Ha La La La La
It's all about the wordplay
Ha La La La love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
Well I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness
That always seems to be a flowin'
But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
Oh the rhymin' and the timin'
Keeps the melodies inside me
And they're climbin'
'Till I'm running out of air
Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
Are you listening to a single word I've said?
Ha La La La La
Listen closer to the words I say
Ha La La La La
I'm Stickin' with the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
I'm all about the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
I'm stickin' with the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
I love the wonderful thing it does
Because, because of
The ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's fall back in love
For the Mr. A to Z they say
is all about the wordplay

Review about Wordplay great song!!! and hidden meaning?? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/15/09
first i want to say that this song has been getting stuck in my head constantly lately and I absolutely love it :D
2nd,
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but if you listen to the 2nd verse closely, it sounds kind of like he is reminding you of his hit single from his first album, 'The Remedy (I Won't Worry)'
"When it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me"
"For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
Pull out the stops,
Got your attention"
I'm from indonesia. I like this song but my no.1 song is still 'mr.curiosity.'
It's the first jason mraz's song that I heard and suddenly it become one of my favourite songs.
Now, almost everyday I listen to jason mraz's songs.
Ok, first i just want to say I LOVE THIS SONG! I have about 20 songs by jason mraz varying from each album but this one stands out from his creativeness.
I've found some wordplays but PLEASE tell me all the ones you have found, I need them for a class (don't worry I'm not cheating, but it would be a HUGEEEE help to my project becayse I have to write an analyses/ review of the wordplays and all that good stuff) so like i said before, PLEASE type all the wordplays you've found, even the obvious ones :] thank you everyone in ADVANCE!! :] :] :]
GO JASON MRAZ!! U ARE AMAZINGGGG :]

Aside form being too good when it comes to voice quality, Jason Mraz' song, Wordplay, for me is appropriate for a song that aims at capturing the mind and somehow build awareness to the listeners..Honestly speaking, i thought he just showed up this year I mean this is his first year in the music industry but i was wrong.. good thing my friends told me that he has been singing a quiet sometime but breakthrough just came out after the release of His worldly known Im Yours...now the composer may not be aware about the intensity of the caption WORDPLAY might lead into the minds of the listeners but indeed it captivates the heart of the listeners with its melodious vocalization, effective diction,irresistible rhythm and compact message to the subject...Anyways, congratulations Jason for being a phenomenal hit and for singing hopeful musics,....KUDOS and GOOD luck for future commitments... you've just got to touch millions of lives.. thank you and more power...till here
Wordplay | Reviewer: Jakktar | 10/22/08
(Yeah im from sweden, my english might sucks :P)
And yes, i do love this song! I heard it, fell in love with the melody, found the lyrics and started practising. xd Finally i knew all the words (yeah, im proud as dunno what xD). Then i started to really look at the words and as "Vox" said - its awesome. Heh, "listen closly to the words i say", yeah its so easy, especially for a swedish idiot.! xD The first song of jason that i heard was "I'm yours", i just löööved it. xd I got some more songs and its not very often a guy can make so many great songs!
Can just say i love it all. Oh, what a different comment. Ever heard anythin like it? :O xD
true poetry | Reviewer: teacher lady | 10/21/08
I've used this song to teach poetry in my classroom. It's so hard to get kids today to find poetry they can appreciate, by Jason Mraz lays it all down in this song...it's all about the rhythm and rhyme. And like many have said already here, his word choice is amazing. Everytime I teach it, I find another phrase that makes me think, "Wow!"
If you like this song, you really need to check out his blogs on myspace. He is an amazing writer!
MSG from OZ -Anyone pick up this one!! | Reviewer: Bakki | 10/5/08

The wonderful Wizard of O[Oohhs]z [& Ahhhz]

Because of the wonderful things he does!
OMG! I didn’t even realise that until someone wrote down the bit they found the hardest & then when I read it ,…Whammo...I got the 'We're Off to see the Wizard' song lyrics loud & clear!
-YOU clever boy Mr. A-Z , sneaking that in!
...It surely IS all about the word play!
