About

‘Woe is Me’ is our first real look into Logainne’s psyche. She has been conditioned into perfection by her dads, and it shows in her thought process. This is possibly one of the saddest songs in the musical, as it shows the effects of the Schwartsandgrubenierre’s helicopter parenting on Logainne’s m...

Woe is Me Annotated

[SCHWARZY, spoken]
I’d just like to take one moment to thank my two fathers who've been so supportive of me in all of my endeavors. Thank you, dads!

[CARL]
We hate losers
Which is why we discipline
God hates losers
Because losers do not know how to win
(spoken)
Yes we do!
Go get ‘em!

[DAN, spoken]
No one likes a loser!

But he loves you!

And we have faith in you

Yes we do!
[SCHWARZY]
I hope you can love me, America
I’m gunning for first prize!
Here’s why you should love me, America
My needs I cannot overemphasize
I make myself crazy
Being what my dads hope I’ll be
But what about me, dads?
What about me?
Jesus Christ! What about me?

[CARL, spoken]
Practice your breathing, Logainne

[SCHWARZY]
Though I practice yoga, I don’t breathe
I try not to disappoint
But still I
Disappoint the dads
Who my friends mock
Kids are mean
Kids’ll talk
All my so-called "friends"
Roll their eyes
They’re incredibly petty
Because my dads are my dads
And alright enough already

[SCHWARZY & SPELLERS]
Woe is me
Woe is me

[SCHWARZY]
Which is why I gotta win this spelling bee

[CARL, spoken]
Take a picture for her B.M.

[SCHWARZY, spoken]
Dad!

[DAN, spoken]
Don’t call her B.M., Carl.

[CARL, spoken]
Sorry. Her "Birth Mother."

[SCHWARZY, spoken]
Peggy Jenkins!

[DAN, spoken]
She’d be very proud if she could see you spell!

[SCHWARZY]
My birth mother lives in Kansas, MO
In a trailer, in a park

[DADS & SPELLERS]
Tornados

[SCHWARZY]
Every now and then she sends a card
"Life and men," she writes, "are hard."
She would like to meet me when I’m grown
And I’ve burst like a comet
But I’m so stressed by my stress
I just wanna up and vomit

[SCHWARZY & SPELLERS]
Woe is me
Woe is me

[SCHWARZY]
Which is why I gotta win this spelling—

[DADS & SPELLERS]
Be smart
Be cool
Be an adult
Be remarkably adroit
In social situations

[SCHWARZY]
Woe is me

Woe is me

Which is why I gotta win
This spelling

Bee
[DADS]

Which is why she's gotta win
This spelling

Bee
[SPELLERS]
Be smart, be cool
Be smart, be cool
Be smart, be cool
Be smart, be

Which is why she’s gotta win
This spelling
Bee
