Don't say 'micro wave'
Pronunciation’s been erased
We've been getting it wrong, but it’s child’s play
Say 'mee-kroh-wah-vay'
There once was a time
Common sense, it was in its prime
When micro fitted with phone, scope or cosmic
Waves were non-pandemic
But not anymore
Cause Nigella's busted through the door
And she changed history, in one tiny short clip
"Warmed in the mee-kroh-wah-vay"
Don't say 'micro wave'
Pronunciation’s been erased
We've been getting it wrong, but it’s child’s play
Say 'mee-kroh-wah-vay' (mee-kroh-wah-vay)
She's in her own little world
Those hazel eyes, the madness twirls
Did she mean it or was she just joking?
Maybe she was smoking!
Now that would explain
The confusion, the linguistic pain
Still I ponder at night while I'm lying awake
Should I say 'mee-kroh-p-ho-nay'?
Don't say 'micro wave'
Pronunciation’s been erased
We've been getting it wrong, but it’s child’s play
Say 'mee-kroh-wah-vay' (mee-kroh-wah-vay)
I can't make it tick
How it tocks, her phonetic logic
Cause if I had to say it phonetically?
"Beep beep beep, mee-kroh-way-vee!"
Don't say 'micro wave'
Pronunciation’s been erased
We've been getting it wrong, but it’s child’s play
Say mee-kroh-wah-vay (mee-kroh-wah-vay, mee-kroh-wah-vay)
(Don't say 'micro wave') (mee-kroh-wah-vay)
Oh, say mee-kroh-wah-vay (mee-kroh-wah-vay)
(Don't say 'micro wave') (mee-kroh-wah-vay)
Oh, say mee-kroh-wah-vay!
