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 me answers
But I couldn't get the questions right
I lost on Jeopardy, baby
Oooooooohh
I lost on Jeopardy, baby
Oooooooohh
Well, I know 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 100
Then my head started to spin
Well, I'm givin' up don parto
Just tell me now what I didn't win
I lost on Jeopardy, baby
Oooooooohh
I lost on Jeopardy, baby
Oooooooohh
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 of
I guess I just wasn't too bright
Well, I sure hope I do better
Next weekend on The Price Is Right
I lost on Jeopardy, baby
Oooooooohh
I lost on Jeopardy, baby
Oooooooohh
