Текст песни I'm Not That Smart - 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Original Cast

I'm not that smart
My siblings have been telling me that for years
That I'm not smart
We're schooled at home
They've seen who's bright
It breaks my heart
I'm not that smart

Guess what?
You know what?
Guess what?

I have a gentle personality
Which you'll all agree
Is anathema to my more aggressive 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

Da, da, da da da da da da da
Da da, da da da, da da da da da da da da
Doodle doodle doodle, doodle doodle doodle
Doo
Doo, doo
Bum, doo duh do
Ba duh da
Doo duh da

I've forgotten the word
Acouchi
Oh yeah, acouchi
The rodent resembling the other rodent- what was the?
A-C-O-U-C-H-I
Acouchi!
That is correct

I might be smart
My siblings 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 like to laugh, I like to spell
I like to never hear the bell
And if this competition's hell
At least I'm finally a part
I feel my heart
Begin to swell
I like
I love to spell!
I like it a lot
