Pandemonium / My Favorite Moment of the Bee 2 (Reprise)

A surprise mistake by Mr. Tolentino
But I got it right
If you start to spell a word you may start over
But the sequences of letters already spoken may not be changed!

That's not fair, I spelled it right!
I can't get out on a word I spelled right!

Life is random and unfair
Life is pandemonium

But that's not fair! I won last year!

That's the reason we despair

Life is pandemonium (Life is pandemonium)
Life is pandemonium (Life is pandemonium)
Life is pandemonium (Yeah)
Life is pandemonium (Come on, kid)
Life is pandemonium

Goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye, goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Good Lord!
That's what's swell about spelling bees
I am floored
By how last year's big cheese
Becomes this year's disaster
And exits with new humility

It's a wide open jamboree
When winners lose surprisingly
Now I love what I see
I see hope and possibility
When the favorite loses, one, two, three
That's my favorite moment of the bee
