My Friend, the Dictionary William Finn (Ft. Celia Keenan-Bolger & Original Broadway Cast of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee)

[PANCH, spoken]
Miss Ostrovsky, your word is boanthropy.

[OLIVE, spoken]
Oh, wait. One second. Please, ma'am, could you not sit in that seat?

(sung)
I saved a chair for my dad
In the fourth row on the aisle
And it may take him a while
But when he gets here, that's his chair

'Cause my mother's in an ashram in India
I saved a chair for her too
But it's merely symbolic
As daily she washes herself in the Ganges

And I live in a house
Where there's an oversized dictionary
That I read
As a girl
On the toilet

I love my dictionary
And I love the indented border
Every word's in alphabetical order
Ergo, lost things always can be found
