Will it really help me to learn
About Frederick The Great and when Rome burned?
Wish they´d skip over me when it´s my turn
All this useless information
So I can talk way above my station

And I lost when I couldn´t spell congratulations
Well, hooray, hooray for Tom
Won the spelling bee
Spelled the difficult words so right
And now he´s on TV
Oh, hooray, hooray for Tom
He´s up there for all to see
And I hope someday they´ll say hooray for me
Teach me long division
So I can figure out baseball stats
Batting average, fielding percentage and all that
Well I learned more at home okay
Learned how to scrap, learned some funny things to say
And I lost when I spelled B A N A N A N A
Well, hooray, hooray for Tom
Won the spelling bee
Spelled the difficult words so right

And now he´s on TV
Hooray, hooray for Tom
He´s up there for all to see
And I hope someday they´ll say hooray for me
Hooray, hooray for Tom
Won the old spelling bee
Spelled the difficult words so right
Spelled the crepuscule so right
And now he´s on TV
Hooray, hooray for Tom
He´s up there for all to see
And I hope someday they´ll say hooray
Hope someday they´ll say hooray
Well, I hope someday they´ll say hooray for me
