Lyrics I'm Not That Smart - Original Broadway Cast Recording



I′m not that smart
My siblings have been telling me that for years
That I'm not smart
We′re schooled at home
We see who is bright
It breaks my heart
I'm not that smart
Guess what?
Ya know what?
I have a gentle personality
Which you'll all agree
Is an anethema to my more
Agressive family
Everyone keeps swatting
"Dumb kid"
Everyone keeps yelling
"Dumb kid!"
How could a flea, such as me,
Think he′d be good at spelling?
How?
I don′t know
I like my hair, really it is pleasant to the touch
I toss my hair, a bit too much
It doesn't move, It simply sits
I make a part, I′m not that smart
Daaaah, Daaaah, Dah Dah Dah
Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah
Doodle doodle doodle, doodle doodle doodle, dooo, doooooodle...
Dooooo. DOoodledoodledoo
Duh duh DUH
I forgot the word
"Acouchi"
Oh yeah, Acouchi.
The roder resembling the other roder.
What was it?
A-C-O-U-C-H-I
Acouchi
"That is correct"
I might be smart.
My sibblings can't believe that I got it right!
But I got it right. right?
I didn′t cheat.
I saw this light, and it was neat
I'd like to laugh, I′d like to spell
I'd like to never hear the bell.
And if this competitions-hell-
At least I'm finally a part
I feel my heart
Begin to swell
I like.nibethepa
I love...
To spell
I like it a lot
