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