It's not to boast me
Said the comma
But, without my pendulum game
Words, like sleepwalkers
Would only come up against
It is possible, said the point
But I reign, me
And the great capital letters
Make fun of you all
And your tiny tail
Don't be ridiculous
Said the point point
We see you less than the trace
Of ants on an ice cream
Stop your conciliabules
Or, both, I replace you!

conciliabules — secret meetings / whispered conversations
Conciliabules refers to secret meetings or whispered conversations, often implying plotting or conspiring. It's a somewhat formal and less common word, making it intriguing.
In the context of the song, the punctuation marks (virgule, point, point virgule) are personified and arguing amongst themselves. The 'point virgule' (semicolon) uses this word to tell the others to stop their petty squabbles, threatening to replace them if they don't cease their 'conciliabules'.
