As surprise mistake by Mr. Tolentino!
CHIP (spoken)
But I got it right
MR. PANCH (spoken)
If you start to spell a word, you may start over
ALL (spoken)
But the sequences of letters already spoken
May not be changed
CHIP (spoken)
That's not fair! I spelled it right!
I can't get out on a word I spelled right!
MITCH
Life is random and unfair
Life is Pandemonium
CHIP (spoken)
That's not fair! I won last year!
MITCH
That's the reason we despair
Life is Pandemonium
Life is Pandemonium
(spoken) Yes it is! Yeah! C'mon kids!
(sung) Life is Pandemonium
ALL (overlapping Mitch)
Life is Pandemonium
Life is Pandemonium
Life is Pandemonium
Life is Pandemonium
Life is Pandemonium

Good lord
That's what's swell about spelling bees
I am floored
By how last year's big cheese
Becomes this year's disaster
And exit with new humilities
It's a wide open jamboree
When winners lose surprisingly
Now I love what I see
I see hope and possibility
When the favorite loses 1, 2, 3
That's my favorite moment of the bee
