I Lost on Jeopardy
I was there to match my intellectOn national TVAgainst a plumber and an architectBoth with a Ph.D.I was tense, I was nervousI guess it just wasn't my nightArt Fleming gave me answersBut I couldn't get the questions right
I lost on Jeopardy, babyOooooooohhI lost on Jeopardy, babyOooooooohh
Well, I know I was in trouble nowMy hope of winning sank'Cause I got the Daily Double nowAnd then my mind went blankI took potpourri for 100Then my head started to spinWell, I'm givin' up don partoJust tell me now what I didn't win
I lost on Jeopardy, babyOooooooohhI lost on Jeopardy, babyOooooooohh
Spoken:That's right, Al, you lost! And let me tell you what you didn't win: a twenty-volume set of the Encyclopedia International, a case of Turtle Wax, and a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat. But that's not all! You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people, and you brought shame and disgrace on your family name for generations to come. You don't get to come back tomorrow. You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game. You're a complete loser!
Sung:Don't know what I was thinking ofI guess I just wasn't too brightWell, I sure hope I do betterNext weekend on The Price Is Right
I lost on Jeopardy, babyOooooooohhI lost on Jeopardy, babyOooooooohh
