A: Here's what we can figure out from this You Tube video of the show's introduction. According to the show credits, the song was written by David Vanacore and is sung by the Blessed Kateri Children's Choir, from Blessed Kateri Catholic Church in Santa Clarita, Calif.

The choir gets a little overwhelmed by the audience around the third and seventh lines, so we can't swear to those lyrics being exact.   —G.F.C.

Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
Cause there's gonna be a test later
Tell your teachers, now you're back in school
Are you smarter than you used to be?
Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
Grab a pencil and a piece of paper
Tell your teachers, now you're back in school
Are you smarter than you used to be?

If you think you can correct us on the lyrics, drop us a line.
