25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee movie - I'm Not That Smart lyrics
rate me<br>
LEAF<br>
I’m not that smart<br>
My siblings have been telling me that for years<br>
That I’m not smart<br>
We’re schooled at home<br>
They see who’s bright<br>
It breaks my heart<br>
I’m not that smart<br>
<br>
(spoken) Guess what? You know what? Guess what?<br>
(sung) I have a gentle personality<br>
Which you’ll all agree<br>
Is a __________ to my more aggressive<br>
Family<br>
Everyone keeps swatting<br>
<br>
SPELLERS (spoken)<br>
Dumb kid<br>
<br>
LEAF<br>
Everyone keeps yelling<br>
<br>
SPELLERS (spoken)<br>
Dumb kid!<br>
<br>
LEAF<br>
How could a flea<br>
Such as me<br>
Think he’d be<br>
Good at spelling?<br>
(spoken) How?<br>
I don’t know<br>
I like my hair<br>
Really<br>
(sung) It is pleasant to the touch<br>
I toss my hair<br>
A bit too much<br>
(spoken) It doesn’t move<br>
It simply sits<br>
(sung) I make a part<br>
I’m not that smart<br>
<br>
Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw<br>
Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw Daw<br>
Doodle Doodle Doodle Doodle Doodle Doodle Doo Doo Doo<br>
BUM! Doodle Doo Doodoo dum Doodoo dum<br>
<br>
(spoken) I forgot the word.<br>
<br>
MR. PANCH (spoken)<br>
Acouchi.<br>
<br>
LEAF (spoken)<br>
Oh yeah, acouchi. <br>
The rodent resembling the other rodent; what was it – A-c-o-u-c-h-i. Acouchi.<br>
<br>
MR. PANCH (spoken)<br>
That is correct!<br>
<br>
LEAF<br>
I might be smart<br>
My siblings can’t believe that I got it right<br>
But I got it right<br>
(spoken) Right?<br>
(sung) I didn’t cheat<br>
I saw this light<br>
And it was neat<br>
I like to laugh<br>
I like to spell<br>
I like to never hear the bell<br>
<br>
And if this competition’s hell<br>
At least I’m finally a part<br>
I feel my heart<br>
Begin to swell<br>
I like – nibethepa<br>
I love<br>
To spell<br>
I like it a lot!<br>
<br>
