(Chorus)
Mom, Dad, look at me,
I’ve got something cool that you’ve just gotta see
Mom, Dad, look at me,
I’m the Champion of the Spelling Bee
Is it French, is it Latin, does it come from the Greek?
Can you tell me of it’s derivation?
Is it Eew, is it Ooh, is it Aah that you speak?
Do I have correct pronunciation?
I’ve been reading every night from the dictionary
Memorizing every word
My teacher says that I could be extraordinary
If I just would put in the work
(Chorus)
Is it ‘C’, Is it ‘S’, could this one be a ‘Z’
In my mind it’s gotten so confusing
Seems like all the other kids are smarter than me
I think a couple find this all amusing
I’ve been reading every night from an old thesaurus
Memorizing every word
Who am I to think that I can really do this
What could be more absurd?
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
