about

(a spelling bee champion wishes for a more efficient world)

lyrics

you have some questions for me, that could take a while
you looked so clueless and you sealed it with a smile
crucial omissions are a pattern in the press
enunciation is the key to my success

and if you say it's scomberdae
then I must spell just as you say
and if I take it day by day
I know too well just what you'll say to me

I have a story but I don't know where to start
I'll have a heart attack before I'll have a heart
you cut me off like blood before a serrefine
give me a choice between a man and a machine

I have a problem with your 'carry on, keep calm'
you made a sandwich when you could have made a bomb
you know the answers you want, you don't need me here
see how you like it next time when I'm not so clear

it's scomberdae
and I must spell
just as you say to me
