"Don't Have a Spelling Clue"

Parody Written by:

John A. Barry

The Lyrics

Don't have a spelling clue
Much of the time.
When I'm flummoxed, here's what I dew:

I start eyein'
Lexicon, spyin.

Was once orthographic;
I had spelling down.
Now it's awful tragic--
Don't no my asp from whole in the ground.

Don't have a spelling clue
Much of the time.

Is it "you"?
Is it "ewe"?
Is it "new"?
Is it "gnu," type of cow?
Also ensnared
By homophony
Like "bough" or "bow"?

You here me?

Don't have a spelling clew
Much of the thyme.
