antepenultimate - zach sherwin lyrics

[verse 1]
“ultimate”
it’s an adjective
it means “last”
and “penultimate”
well, that means “second to last”
but if i want to say something is third to last
well, i wasn’t sure if we had a word for that
so i got my dictionary and consulted it
and the result of it
was awesome
you can go, y’all
yo
[hook]
an-te-pen-ultimate
the one before “penultimate”
that’s a-n-t-e-penultimate
third to last (uh uh)
ante-pentultimate
i put it in my catapult and catapulted it
for an -ssault of “antepenultimate”
comin’ at ya (come on)
[verse 2]
as a kid i learned the word “ultimate”
and as a teen i learned “penultimate”
and it was only just a little while ago
that i learned about “antepenultimate”
so if i want to arrange those words
in the order in which i learned them
i say “ultimate” was the antepenultimate
“penultimate” was the penultimate
and “antepenultimate” was the ultimate
(aw!)
[verse 3]
and now i’m ultra hip
to the ways of the antepenultimate
like, antepenultimate frisbee
is the third-best game you can play with a disc
and if your mom is the youngest of three girls
you have an auntie antepenultimate
and the third to last muslim kingship
will be the antepenultimate sultanate
yo!
[hook]
an-te-pen-ultimate (uh!)
you can’t be insultin’ it (uh-uh!)
don’t be an-ti-an-te-penultimate
it’s all love (yeah!)
ante-penultimate
let’s take the hip-hop genre and alter it
here’s my sea shanty for “antepenultimate”
(three, two, come on)
[sea shanty]
when i was a lad i went to sea
and the sailor’s life is the life for me
i rose to the rank of the second maaaaaaate
now i’m the antepenulti-mate
the captain, the first mate
and me, the antepenulti-mate
[verse 4]
now i’m about out of time
so i guess this is the antepenultimate line
and this is the penultimate line
and this is the ultimate line
(uh!)
