Lyrics
[PANCH, spoken] Please spell, "telephone." [SPELLERS all react to the easy word with assorted grumbles, e.g. "Aw, what! C'mon! Telephone?!"] [CHIP] My oh my [CHIP & OLIVE] That word's so moronic [SCHWARZY] I could cry I want words as lame! [PANCH, spoken] Mr. Coneybear... [LEAF] Semper fi I feel supersonic [MR. PANCH, spoken] Spell "hospital." [SPELLERS grumble.] [MARCY] That is why I despise this game [CONEYBEAR] H-o-s-p-i- T-a-l, "Hospital." [PANCH, spoken] That is correct. Mr. Tolentino... [CHIP & CONEYBEAR] Life is random and unfair Life is pandemonium [PANCH, spoken] "Staphylococcus." [CHIP, spoken] Aww!

The best spellers [CHIP] Don't necessarily Win [SPELLERS] Life is pandemonium Life is pandemonium [MARCY] Set your sights I am on a mission [MR. PANCH, spoken] Miss Park, "Antediluvian." [SCHWARZY] We have rights (spoken to audience volunteer) We have rights! (sung) That's why we complain [PANCH, spoken] Mr. Barfee, "Halitosis." [BARFEE] Damn, life bites But I like competition [PANCH, spoken] Miss Ostrovsky: "Schematic." [OLIVE] In these lights Can you feel our pain? [PANCH, spoken] Somebody spell "crayon." [SPELLERS, spoken] Crayon?!

The best spellers [CHIP] Don't necessarily win They don't win They don't win They don't win [SPELLERS] Life is pandemonium Life is pandemonium [BARFEE] No, they don't! [CHIP & OTHERS] Life is random and unfair [CHIP] Life is pandemonium Yes, it is Oh, yes, it is! [OTHER SPELLERS] Life is pandemonium Life is pandemonium Life is pandemonium Life is pandemonium Life is pandemonium Life is pandemonium Life is pandemonium! [CHIP] Yes, it is! [OTHER SPELLERS] Yeah!
