The Lyrics

I've gotta spell "Anjou"--
I'm next in line
At the spelling bee, and I'm screwed.
What I'm tryin'
The judge ain't buyin'.

Orthography, damn it!
Is gettin' me down.
Why'd I get this France sh*t?!
I won't graduate to the next round.

I cannot spell "Anjou"
How about "mine"?
Or "nine"?

C'est foutu,*
C'est foutu,
C'est foutu,
C'est foutu, anyhow.
"Anjou"--a pear
Or a French county.
I've blown it now.

Excuse me!
I couldn't spell "Anjou."
Who's next in line?

[fade on sound of student trying to spell "Marseilles"]


*This is f----d!
