Lyrics:
We have a different name
But our meaning is the same
We are synonyms
We are synonyms

It might seem strange, weird, or absurd
That we describe using different words
We smile, and beam, and grin
We’re happy to be synonyms

Frigid, freezing, really cold
Fearless, confident, and bold
Prosperous, rich, and wealthy,
Active, well, thriving, healthy

If your sentence is a little plain
or you forgot the name
Throw in a little synonym
You’ll be all better, right as rain!

Abandon, leave, desert
Injured, wounded, hurt
Keep going, continue, persevere
Neighboring, close, beside, near

Take in, welcome, get, receive,
Accomplish, carry out, achieve
Furious, angry, mad
Delighted, cheerful, pleased, and glad

We have a different name
But our meaning is the same
We are synonyms
We are synonyms

We have a different name
But our meaning is the same
We are synonyms
We are synonyms
