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-ight-ight

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.)

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 TurtleWax, and a

year's supply of Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco treat. Butthat's not all!

You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions ofpeople! And

you brought shame and disgrace on your family name forgenerations to come!

You don't get to come back tomorrow! You don't even get a lousycopy 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-ight-ight

I lost on Jeopardy,

Baby,

(Oooh.)

I lost on Jeopardy,

Baby,

(Oooh.)

I lost on Jeopardy,

Baby...
