Lyrics of Why We Like Spelling by Original Broadway Cast
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 love spelling too
Thats 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 line
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
Writer(s): William A. Finn
