I Lost On Jeopardy

parody of "Jeopardy" by the Greg Kihn band

Ohhhhhh...
I was there, to match my intellect, on national TV
Against a plumber, and an architect, both with a Ph.D.
I was tense, I was nervous
I guess it just wasn't my night
Art Fleming gave the answers
Oh, but I couldn't get the questions right
I, I...

I lost on Jeopardy
Baby, oooh...
I lost on Jeopardy
Baby, oooh...

Well I knew I was in trouble now
My hope of winning sank
'Cause I got the Daily Double now
And then my mind went blank
I took Potpourri for one hundred
And then my head started to spin
Well, I'm givin' up.  Don Pardo,
Just tell me now what I didn't win
Yeah, yeah

I lost on Jeopardy
Baby, oooh...
I lost on Jeopardy
Baby, oooh...

(Don Pardo's voice)
That's right Al--you lost!  And let me tell 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!!

Don't know what I was thinkin' of
I guess I just wasn't too bright
Well, I sure hope I do better
Next weekend on the Price Is Right
I, I...

I lost on Jeopardy
Baby, oooh...
I lost on Jeopardy
Baby, oooh...
I lost on Jeopardy
Baby...
