Will the final two spellers please step forward.
Oh boy
And oh girl
Only two remain
I feel joy
But I also feel pain
Because I know what's coming
Joy never comes for free
In a moment he or she
Will enter spelling history
Feeling triumph and glee
In this moment of perfect syzygy
I hear triumphant sounds of timpani
It's my favorite moment of the bee
Mr. Barfee, "Corzya."
Corzya.
"Ilspile."
Ilspile?
Zoonosis. Chromatophore. Astrobleme.
I'm loving every minute. (Astrobleme.)
Who knew I had this thirst? (A-S-T)
To think that I might win it
Is astounding news
And I'm about to burst
R-O astro
How wonderful it feels
To stand so close to first
I'll make it happen
And not as previously reckoned
Cause I will not come in second!
I hate to come in second
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
I will not come in second.
M-E Astrobleme
That is correct. Miss Ostrovsky
Spell "Elanguescence"
Am I a Red Socks or a Yankee?
Who will come in second?
People are scared of me
And no one really likes me
I won't come in second
Hey Olive, don't think I'm distracted
By your eyes and your smile and
Your hairdo
Oh the things I do not dare do;
My fears are odious and fecund.
You will not outrank me
I won't wave my hankie
Second, I won't come in second
(I won't come in second)
I won't come in second
(I won't come in second)
Second
(Second)
Elanguescence E-L-A-N-G-U-E-S-S-E-N-C-E?
Elanguescence?
For the win, William your word is
"Weltanschauung"
Yes of course, weltanschauung
W... E... L... T.A... N... S.C.H.A... U-
You
I feel I'm in my glory
Should I come in second?
Mama I made a friend
But should I come in second?
I'll lose and that's the story,
Is second for me?
But we are equals, ma where neither condescends
My fears are odious and fecund
I am, I am fine with second
(And should I throw the bee?)
I can live with second
(Would I be happy second? If for ever ever ever)
I will come in second
(To always be stuck in second, will I come in second?)
(Will I come in?)
S-C-H-A-U
It's alright, Barf.
U-N-G. Weltanschauung
We have a winner!
Champion!!
Just sensational
Champion!!
Representational
Champion
At the Putnam County Spelling
