Woe Is Me歌詞

作曲 : William Finn
製作人 : Joel Moss/Kurt Deutsch
SCHWARZY, spoken: I'd just like to take one moment to thank my two fathers who've been so supportive of me in all of my endeavors. Thank you, dad!
CARL: We hate losers (DAN: No one likes a loser!)
Which is why we discipline
God hates losers (DAN: But he loves you!)
Because losers do not know how to win (DAN: And we have faith in you, honey)
(spoken) Yes we do! (DAN: Yes we do!)
Go get 'em!
SCHWARZY: I hope you can love me, America
I'm gunning for first prize!
Here's why you should love me, America
My needs I cannot overemphasize
I make myself crazy
Being what my dads hope I'll be
But what about me, dad?
What about me?
Jesus Christ! What about me?
CARL, spoken: Practice your breathing, Logainne
SCHWARZY: Though I practice yoga, I don't breathe
I try not to disappoint
But still I
Disappoint the dads
Who my friends mock
Kids are mean
Kids'll talk
All my so-called "friends"
Roll their eyes
They're incredibly petty
Because my dads are my dads
And alright enough already
SCHWARZY & SPELLERS: Woe is me
Woe is me
SCHWARZY: Which is why I gotta win this spelling bee
CARL, spoken: Take a picture for her B.M.
SCHWARZY, spoken: Dad!
DAN, spoken: Don't call her B.M., Carl.
CARL, spoken: Sorry. Her "Birth Mother."
SCHWARZY, spoken: Peggy Jenkins!
DAN, spoken: She'd be very proud if she could see you spell!
SCHWARZY: My birth mother lives in Kansas, MO
In a trailer, in a park
DADS & SPELLERS: Tornados
SCHWARZY: Every now and then she sends a card
"Life and men," she writes, "are hard."
She would like to meet me when I'm grown
And I've burst like a comet
But I'm so stressed by my stress
I just wanna up and vomit
SCHWARZY & SPELLERS: Woe is me
Woe is me
SCHWARZY: Which is why I gotta win this spelling—
DADS & SPELLERS: Be smart
Be cool
Be an adult
Be remarkably adroit
In social situations
SCHWARZY: Woe is me (SPELLERS: Be smart, be cool×2)
Woe is me (Be smart, be cool; be smart, be-)
Which is why I gotta win
This spelling
Bee
