The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

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 Barfée
 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
