Prayer of the Comfort Counselor Lyrics by William Finn

25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2005

[Bell rings.]
[PANCH, spoken]
I'm sorry. You missed the silent "q".
[MITCH]
My friend, you will be missed
But now go with dignity
This ends but first on our list
You can go with pride
You’ve been the best-looking dude
We’ve had all day
You’re a real smart dude as well
Now go home and spell
Give your squeeze some affection
C'mon make a connection
Spell with patience and care
That dude is my prayer
[BOY SPELLERS]
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
 
[GIRL SPELLERS]
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
[SPELLERS]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
[MITCH]
Whoa!
You need the strength to pretend it’s
No big deal
Try to look like you don’t care
Try not to cry, Lord
In front of a brother
Don’t embarrass your mother
Make your exit with care
That is my
 
[KIDS]
Oooohhhh
Oooohhhh
Oooohhhh
Aaahhhh
Aaahhhh
Ahhh
Not your mother!
Oooohhhh
[ALL]
Prayer!
[MITCH]
Goodbye, Goodbye
[COMPANY]
Goodbye, Goodbye
Bye, bye, bye Whomever
Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
[MITCH]
Goodbye
[MITCH, spoken]
Whomever!
[ALL]
Goodbye!
