Rhetorical Figure

(album: Boy From Michigan - 2021)

Some people like alliteration
But I know it's been an assonance man
Some people like to go on vacation
I decline and conjugate therefore
I am

Flechten-floght-gefloghten
Gieben-goss-gegossen
Klingen-klang-geklungen

If you want to get with me
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rhetorical figure
If you want to get up on this
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rhetorical figure
Rhetorical figure (rhetorical figure)
Rhetorical figure (rhetorical figure)

Epizeuxis
Epizeuxis
Epizeuxis
Epizeuxis
We use it a lot, but the spell kind of spooks us
Your constant employment of analogy
Is a turn on that is certainly not
Lost on me

If you want to get with me
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rhetorical figure
If you want to get up on this
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rhetorical figure
Rhetorical figure (rhetorical figure)
Rhetorical figure (rhetorical figure)

You're an expert when it comes to using
Paraprosdokians
Unlike so many of your fellow Americans
I love the way you use
Aposiopesis
Much more than when you make use of
Antirrhesis

If you want to get with me
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rhetorical figure
If you want to get up on this
You better have a rhetorical figure
If you want to the truth
I prefer a rhetorical figure
A rhetorical figure
If you want to get up on this
You better have a rhetorical figure
A rhetorical figure
Rhetorical figure (rhetorical figure)
Rhetorical figure (rhetorical figure)

So many people chasing
Sacagaweas
Me I'd rather have a bunch of
Onomatopoeias
