Songs that use spelling for lyrics

"I put a spell on you" - Creedence Clearwater Revival

C I T Y

you can see why

these guys are streetwise

*something something something*

beginning of some shitty nbc young teens show from when I was a kid called city guys.

I am a woman, W-O-M-A-N

The Bartok song from "Bartok the Magnificent"

B-A-R-T, O-okay!

ga-gatta-gatta-ga

It's the mother f***ing D-O-double G

ga-gatta-gatta-ga

We rockin' with the D-R-E

Dr. Dre mother f***ers!

A is for Apple,

J is for Jacks,

Cinnamon toasty Apple Jacks

Tom Lehrer's "L-Y" song (and "Silent E")

You're wearing your squeaky shoes,

And right there taking a snooze

Is a tiger, so how do you walk on by?

Silently, silently, Silent: L.Y.

Who can turn a can into a cane?

Who can turn a pan into a pane?

It's not too hard to see,

It's Silent E.

And did someone already mention "Spelling Bee Girl?"

And Fergie's Fergalicious?

Georgie & Martha, sittin' in a tree

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

Man Bites God - Spelling Bee Girl lyrics

We had a spelling bee competition

When we were both back in Grade One

I must admit I thought I would win it

But then you took the podium

You were so cool and calm and collected

You were like a precocious queen

When you knew gnu was spelt g-n-u

I knew you would rule supreme

Spelling Bee Girl - your amazing vocabulary

Has put a spell on me - Spelling Bee Girl

Of course I mean spell metaphorically

I’m using spell and spell as homonyms

You looked so beautiful – so lovely

As you formed consonants and vowels

I got a funny tingly feeling

Deep in my heart and in my bowels

I was all nervous – I was all sweaty

And when they finally called on me

I had to spell “rhinoceros”

And I spelt it l-o-v-e

Spelling Bee Girl – you seemed to know phlegm was spelt with a p

And had a silent g - Spelling Bee Girl

You didn’t use lip-gloss until Grade 3

You used lip glossary – that was a joke

“I” is for I love you “N” is for nouns you knew

“G” is the noise I made “B” – ing so close to you

“G” I’m so full of doubt “I” - ’d like to ask you out

“R” you aware I’m in “L” when you’re not around

Put them all together and they spell:

“ING B GIRL” – your linguistic perspicacity

Discombobulated me – Spelling Bee Girl

You and me both sitting in a tree

K-i-s-i-n-g – I’ve spelt that wrong

Wrong – wrong - wrong

M-I-C (see you real soon!)

K-E-Y (Why? Because we LIKE you!)

M-O-U-S...E-eeeeee

Kobe Bryant's rap song from a few years ago had background singers singing the following lyrics:

K-O-B-E, I L-O-V-E You

Police, Message in a Bottle.

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world.....

Doesn't that Fergie song spell "Tasty" or something equally banal?

J-A-Y,i flow sick

f^ck all y'all haterz blow d^ck

R-E-A-D-A-B-O-O-K-R-E-A-D-A-B-O-O-K
