Lyric
LEAF: The chaotic life
Of a twelve year old
Is too hard
And you never know what's coming next
But in spelling
LOGAINNE: Things have logic and lines
LEAF: And in spelling
LOGAINNE: There's a greater design
OLIVE: Though in school we seem strange
At the bee we seem better
LEAF: As we count out each letter in our mind
LOGAINNE: And we find
OLIVE: We like spelling
LEAF, LOGAINNE, OLIVE: People love to hate us
'Cause we're too damn smart
MARCY: In our hearts we do not believe that we'll succeed
LEAF, LOGAINNE, OLIVE, MARCY: We're annoying
LOGAINNE: 'Cause we think on our feet
OLIVE: I'm enjoying
My new need to compete
LEAF: We love nouns
(Spoken) That's our sport.
(Sung) We love talcum on our towels
OLIVE: We love consonants and vowels
And we feel
Kinda real
LEAF, LOGAINNE, OLIVE, MARCY: We like spelling
WILLIAM, MARCY: I like spelling too
It's a way to not feel rotten
CHIP: All the slights are all forgotten
OLIVE: And you feel almost normal
SPELLERS: We are fearless spellers who love scary words
We're the nerds with the dictionary on our knees
MARCY: Underrate us
WILLIAM: With our chronic congestion
MARCY: Or debate us
WILLIAM (spoken): That's a stupid suggestion!
LOGAINNE: 'Cause we'll pummel your butt
When we prove who knows what
LEAF: Though we're frightened by the sound of the bell
(Bell, spellers scream)
SPELLERS: We love words
We love words
We love words
We love words
We love words
We love words
We love spelling
CHIP: I love spelling too
That's before I choked on tittup
Losing that word brought so much sh*t up
That I'll never recover
SPELLERS: The chaotic life
Of a twelve year old
Is too hard
And you never know what's coming next
But in spelling
Things have logic and lines
And in spelling
There's a greater design
OLIVE: Though in school we seem strange
At the bee we seem better
GIRL SPELLERS: As we count out each letter in our mind
SPELLERS: And we find
We love spelling
It makes us feel normal
We like spelling
