If you think the longest word
in the dictionary
Is supercalafragalisticexpialidocious
Then your grasp upon the english
language
Is really quite atrocious
I just take one look at it and
realize
It's not the longest word to
hit us
Neither would the largest word
be
Cystoureteropyelonephritis
Now you can take the large words
And leave the rest alone
Don't even bother going near
Anhydrohydroxyprogesterone
Now you may think you got the
problem licked
You may feel peaceful, assured
and placid
But I'm sorry to disappoint
you once more, but it's not
Ethylenediaminetetraaceticacid
Now I didn't know the longest
word myself
So I asked a friend, I asked
a mate
But even he was wrong when he
said it was
Ethylenediaminetetraacetate
I feel sorry for the words that
don't make it
They sit there by themselves,
all alone
I even feel sorry for old
hydroxydesoxycorticosterone
Some of the words are rather
puzzling
Like that have a dark secret
to hide
What lies behind the mind that
is
Octamethylpyrophosphoramide
But if these word just weren't
around
I know that you would miss em
For where on earth would we
be without
Antidisestablishmentarianism
Or when your feeling down in
the dumps
And you want to feel happy and
full of sunshine
Just sit and say this to yourself
Trinitrophenylymethylnitramine
Some words are more successful
then others
Dealing with power, money and
fame
Take for instance the well known
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane
Some words may seem just kinda
scary
And some words are just plain
fun
Some words just have a class
of their own, like
Formaldehydetetramethylamidofluorimum
And some words have my tongue
tied up
So saying them is of great cost
to me
I charge a lot more for saying
Hepaticocholangiocholecystenterostomies
And after saying all of these
words
My tongue now feels quite flaccid
And then again it doesn't feel
at all, when I say
Tetramethyldiaminobenzhydrylphosphinousacid
So what's the longest word in
the dictionary?
Come on, every body knows this!
The longest word that does exist
it
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
