Hooray For Tom Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

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 

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 okay 

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 

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 

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
