Lyrics My Favorite Moment of the Bee 3 / Second - 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Original Cast

Will the final two spellers please step forward.

Oh boy
And oh girl
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. Barfee, "Corzya."

Corzya.

"Ilspile."

Ilspile?

Zoonosis. Chromatophore. Astrobleme.

I'm loving every minute. (Astrobleme.)

Who knew I had this thirst? (A-S-T)

To think that I might win it
Is astounding news
And I'm about to burst

R-O astro

How wonderful it feels
To stand so close to first

I'll make it happen
And not as previously reckoned
Cause I will not come in second!
I hate to come in second
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
I will not come in second.

M-E Astrobleme

That is correct. Miss Ostrovsky
Spell "Elanguescence"

Am I a Red Socks or a Yankee?
Who will come in second?
People are scared of me
And no one really likes me
I won't come in second
Hey Olive, don't think I'm distracted
By your eyes and your smile and
Your hairdo
Oh the things I do not dare do;
My fears are odious and fecund.
You will not outrank me
I won't wave my hankie

Second, I won't come in second
(I won't come in second)

I won't come in second
(I won't come in second)

Second
(Second)

Elanguescence E-L-A-N-G-U-E-S-S-E-N-C-E?
Elanguescence?

For the win, William your word is
"Weltanschauung"

Yes of course, weltanschauung
W... E... L... T.A... N... S.C.H.A... U-

You

I feel I'm in my glory

Should I come in second?

Mama I made a friend

But should I come in second?

I'll lose and that's the story,

Is second for me?

But we are equals, ma where neither condescends

My fears are odious and fecund

I am, I am fine with second
(And should I throw the bee?)
I can live with second
(Would I be happy second? If for ever ever ever)
I will come in second
(To always be stuck in second, will I come in second?)
(Will I come in?)

S-C-H-A-U

It's alright, Barf.

U-N-G. Weltanschauung
