They spelled my name wrong again
With an E between the D and the N
Some dope didn't know it should be an O
They spelled my name wrong again

Why in God's name can't they check?
It's a pain in the ass and the neck
Not a capital crime, but it's the umpteenth time
Why in God's name can't they check?

I see my name up there in lights
Then I notice it's not spelled right
Tell me why do I put up with it?
Pavarotti most surely would quit

When you've been around for awhile
These spelling mistakes start to rile
I guess that's rock and roll
Dyslexia takes it's toll
You've been around for awhile

My parents should shoulder some blame
For calling their kid a strange name
Spell it with me friends: L-O-U-D-O... N, yes!
My parents should shoulder some blame
My eyes narrow, I start to squint
I think that's my name there in print
Tell me why do I put up with it?
Sinatra would have a shit fit

Wainwright has two W's
They get that one wrong and I get the blues
That old grammar school try's
Not good enough, guys
Wainwright has two W's

One day I thought I would die
When I saw with my very own eye
L-U-D-I-N-W-E-I-M-R-I-G-H-T
Thought I would die
