Hooray For Tom

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
 Who 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 OK
 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
 Who 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
 Who 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
