[Lyric] Co-champions (Josh Roehl)

[Verse 1]
At the spelling bee, there are three contestants left
Johnny, Melissa, and Jeremy Lou
But Jeremy Lou misspelled the word theft
So now the contestants are down to two
The judge is saying to himself as he looks around

[Chorus 1]
"Well, I just might have to declare co-champions
Though it's never happened at this bee before
I just might have to declare co-champions
This spelling bee has now turned into a war
Two contestants left, it's gonna be intense
Continuing these easy words doesn't mean sense
Let me get out the Sesquipedalian Dictionary
To get some harder words, that's truly visionary"

[Verse 2]
Johnny and Melissa don't know what to do
They're looking around, they're feeling confused
Melissa's next word is triskaidekaphobia
She spells it right, and she advances, indeed
That word means the fear of the number thirteen
[Verse 3]
It's the final round, Melissa spelled her word right
If Johnny spells his word correctly, they'll be tied
Johnny's word is humuhumunukunukuapua'a
He spells it correctly and then he says, "Aha!"
The judge then announces the results to the crowd

[Chorus 2]
"Well, now I have to declare co-champions
Johnny and Melissa both spelled their words right
In the final round, I declare co-champions
Johnny and Melissa both put up a fight"
A week later, the two of them started dating
Johnny and Melissa became an item
The next spelling bee is a year in the waiting
But when it happens, please make sure to invite 'em
