Half Time At the Proper Name Spelling Bee - Fishboy

At the Proper Name Spelling Bee, everyone loses

You can’t spell Vermont, you can’t spell Massachusetts

'Cause that was the name of a gift the judge wants to receive

Two dogs when he was three

And tea was brewed, doughnuts were fried

The refreshment table prepared when we arrived

To find a show for us to play

On an epic Saturday

The judge briefly explained: here’s the plan

You can take your tiny hand

Intermission is at 2:45 and play till three

At the Proper Name Spelling Bee

At the Pollyville library, meetings began

The first five contestants got out almost instantly and

The six lost for not spelling James with a G

The tears wiped on his sleeve were well beyond

Believe what you want but I saw it that day

The last girl in line dropped down and began to pray

For a way to exit out of the mess and be spared from the rest

At least that’s what I guessed

One by one, the children’s turns were done

An event that should be fun was turned to misery

At the Proper Name Spelling Bee

And as the band began to play

I knew that things were not okay

The looks upon the childrens' face

Were emptier than outer space

And as the band began to play

I knew that things were not okay

The looks upon the childrens' face

Were emptier than outer space

The Proper Name Spelling Bee was only a scam

The cops busted in and they shouted «Up with your hands!

Tonight it ends, your crime spree»

We had been deceived, so we began to scream

The worst obscenities at the Proper Name Spelling Bee
