Will it really help me to learn |
|
About Frederick the Great and when Rome burned? |
|
Wish they'd skip over me when it's my turn |
|
All this useless information so I can talk way above my station |
|
And I lost when I couldn't spell |
|
congratulations |
|
Well, Hooray, Hooray for Tom |
|
Who won the spelling bee |
|
Spelled the difficult words so right |
|
And now he's on TV |
|
Oh Hooray, Hooray for Tom |
|
He's up there for all to see |
|
And I hope someday they'll say hooray for me |
|
Teach me long division |
|
So I can figure out baseball stats |
|
Batting average, fielding percentage and all that |
|
Well I learned more at home OK |
|
Learned how to scrap, learned some funny things to say |
|
And I lost when I spelled |
|
B-A-N-A-N-A-N-A |
|
Well, Hooray, Hooray for Tom |
|
Who won the spelling bee |
|
Spelled the difficult words so right |
|
And now he's on TV. |
|
Hooray, Hooray for Tom |
|
He's up there for all to see |
|
And I hope someday they'll say hooray for me. |
|
Hooray, Hooray for Tom |
|
Who won the old spelling bee |
|
Spelled the difficult words so right |
|
Spelled the crepuscule so right |
|
And now he's on TV. |
|
Hooray, Hooray for Tom |
|
He's up there for all to see |
|
And I hope someday they'll say hooray |
|
Hope someday they'll say hooray |
|
Well I hope someday they'll say hooray for me |
