Why We Like Spelling lyrics

Home >> Artists starting with 0-9 >> 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee movie Lyrics >> Why We Like Spelling

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 line



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 pommel 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 loved spelling too

That’s before I choked on tittup

Losing that word brought so much shit 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 line

And in spelling

There’s a greater design



OLIVE

Though in school we seem strange

At the bee we seem better



GIRL SPELLERS (W/O OLIVE)

As we count out each letter in our mind



SPELLERS

And we find

We love spelling

It makes us feel normal

We like spelling
