Miss Peretti
Please spell "Syzygy"
S-Y-Z-Y-G-Y
Syzygy?
We have a winner!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
At the twenty-fifth annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
My parents keep on telling me
Just being here is winning
Although I know it isn't so
But it's a very nice
Very, very nice
Very, very nice
Very nice beginning
Our winner here last year
Chip Tolentino
M-M-Miss Peretti!
And our youngest competitor
Logianne SchwartzandGrubenierre
At the twenty-fifth annual Putnam County Spelling Game
Bee!
I'll stand when they announce my name
(Leaf Coneybear)
And try to keep from shaking
Alas, his shaking will not pass
'Cause it's a very big
Very fraught
Simple, but it's not
It's a very big undertaking
Returning after last season's tragic setback
William Barfee
It's prounounced Barfรฉe
There's an accent aigu
Ah, I'm not sure who this girl is
Marcy Park
Recent transfer
Winner's destination
Washington, DC
Plasma TV in a fancy hotel
Where they treat you well
All because you love to spell
We spell!
It's a marvelous memory
If you win the Spelling Bee
One's life improves from A to Z
The minute you are crowned here
I see a trophy held by me
And when I won, did I swell?
Oh, the stories I could tell
But braggarts don't do well around here
Hi, I'm Olive Ostrovsky
Do you know where I check in?
Shut up!
At the twenty-fifth annual
We've memorized the manual
About how to spell these words
Words that require thought
People think we're automatons
But that is exactly what we're not
We hear the word
We breathe
We wait
Unlike idiots, we ideate
To ideate is to form an image or idea
To think
At the twenty-fifth annual
Putnam County Spelling Bee
We feel no animosity
And yet our heads are spinning
We are the slightest bit bizarre
But since the time is now
Holy cow!
We shall make a solemn vow
To concentrate on winning
We concentrate on winning
At the twenty-fifth annual
Putnam County Spelling Bee
We speak so damn convincingly
They're nervous, but they're grinning
It seems we're living out our dreams
Which is a very nice
Very nice
Very, very, very nice
Very nice
Very nice
Very, very, very nice
Very nice beginning
Twenty-fifth annual
