MR. PANCH (spoken) Will the final two spellers please step forward MS. PERETTI Oh boy (spoken) and Oh girl (sung) Only two remain I feel joy But I also feel pain Because I know what's coming Joy never comes for free In a moment he or she Will enter spelling history Feeling triumph and glee In this moment of perfect syzygy I hear triumphant sounds of timpani It's my favorite moment of the bee MR.
