Dan Fogler - Why We Like Spelling lyrics

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 bu*t 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 That?s 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
