The following lyrics are copied from Public Domain Music. They also have a midi file on this page. It seems the Stooges changed the tune a bit.

1. Come, let me see; I'll try you all,
Whatever age, both great and small,
How well you know your A, B, C.
Come let us form a "Spelling Bee."
Some to the right will please to go,
Some to the left, all in a row.
Now let me see what you can do,
And spell for me, Bicki-bi-bo-bu.

CHORUS 1: B, A, Ba, B, E, Be,
B, I, Bicki-bi, B, O, Bo,
Bicki-bi-bo, B, U, Bu,
Bicki-bi-bo-bu.

2. All very good; the task is plain.
Quite a success, we'll try again.
Keep to the text, whate'er you're about.
He who shall fail must be drum'd out!
Mind as you go, your P's and Q's.
No second chance, it's all no use.
Come, now, again we'll try anew.
Now spell for me, Dicki-di-do-du.

CHORUS 2: D, A, Da, D, E, De,
D, I, Dicki-di, D, O, Do,
Dicki-di-do, D, U, Du,
Dicki-di-do-du.

CHORUS 3: L, A, La, L, E, Le,
L, I, Licki-li, L, O, Lo,
Licki-li-lo, L, U, Lu,
Licki-li-lo-lu.

CHORUS 4: P, A, Pa, P, E, Pe,
P, I, Picki-pi, P, O, Po,
Picki-pi-po, P, U, Pu,
Picki-pi-po-pu.

"Repeat the chorus several times at the end of the second verse, taking a new letter at each repeat."
