Track 7 of the 2007 album: Albatross: How We Failed to Save the Lone Star State With the Power of Rock and Roll.

lyrics:
at the proper name spelling bee everyone loses
you can't spell Vermont you can't spell Massachusetts
Cause that was the name of a gift the judge once received
two dogs when he was three

F-U-R-M-O-N-T

tea it was brewed doughnuts were fried
the refreshment table prepared when we arrived
to find a show for us to play
on an epic saturday
the judge briefly explained

"here's the plan
you can take your tiny band,
intermission is at two
forty five and play till three
at the proper name spelling bee

At the Colleyville library beat downs began
The first five contestants got out almost instantly
and the sixth lost for not spelling james with a g
the tears wiped on his sleeve were well beyond

believe what you want but I saw it that day
the last girl in line dropped down and began to pray
for a way to exit out of the mess
and be spared from the rest
at least that's what I guessed

one by one the children's turns were done
an event that should be fun
was turned to misery
at the proper name spelling bee

P-R-O-P-E-R-N-A-M-E-S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G-B-E-E
P-R-O-P-E-R-N-A-M-E-S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G-B-E-E

and as the band began to play
I knew that things were not okay
the looks upon the childrens' face
Were emptier than outer space

and as the band began to play
I knew that things were not okay
the looks upon the childrens' face
were emptier than outer space

the proper name spelling bee was only a scam
The cops busted in and they shouted "up with your hands
tonight it ends, your crime spree"
we had been deceived
so we began to scream
the worst obscenities
at the proper name spelling bee
