You can write a lyric, witty, full of grace
But an extra syllable, a sound that’s out of place?
I’ll publicly damn you
Judge and condemn you

I can’t help it, I’m a
Syllable Nazi, Syllable Nazi
Syllable Nazi, that’s how it has to be
Syllable Nazi, Syllable Nazi
Syllable Nazi, that’s me

In my scoring system, order is the key
Rules and regulations to ensure consistency
The metre’s obstructed? Ten points are deducted!

That’s the nature of a
Syllable Nazi, Syllable Nazi
Syllable Nazi, severe in his review
Syllable Nazi, sinister Nazi
Sad little Nazi, but true
It’s true

Oh, you might make me laugh
Sing your song in the bath
If it doesn’t scan
Then you’ll have to feel my wrath

Syllable Nazi, Syllable Nazi,
Syllable Nazi, I’m all about the fit
Syllable Nazi, snide little Nazi
Safely described as a git

Syllable Nazi, Syllable Nazi
Syllable Nazi... hypocrite
