The Barry Williams Show

(Let's go)

One man at the window
One girl at the bar
Saw the look of recognition
When they know just who you are

Seen you on the TV
I seen you on that show
You make the people crazy
And then, you let them go

Before the show, we calm them
We sympathise, we care
And the hostile folk, we keep apart
'Til the red light says "On air"

Did you see our leather lovers
All tied up to the chair?
Did you catch those child molesters?
No one else goes there

What a show (the Barry Williams Show)
What a show (you're looking at)
(What a show) dysfunctional excess (the Barry Williams Show)
(What a show) is all it took for my success (you're looking at)
(What a show) the greater pain that they endure (the Barry Williams Show)
(What a show) the more you know, the show will score (you're looking at)
It's showtime

Got the reputation of a surgeon
'Cause they cannot feel the cut
It looks so very simple
But it really is an art

They call our studio "the hospital"
Making money from the sick
We let people be themselves
There is no other trick

"My lover stole my girlfriend"
"Keep beating up my ex"
"I wanna kill my neighbour"
"My daughter's selling sex"

"My girl became a man"
"I love my daughter's rapist"
"My life's gone down the pan"

What a show (the Barry Williams Show)
It's my show (what a show you're looking at)
(What a show) dysfunctional excess (the Barry Williams Show)
(What a show) is all it took for my success (you're looking at)
(What a show) and when the punches start to fly (the Barry Williams Show)
(What a show) the ratings always read so high (you're looking at)
Showtime

That girl has got no scruples
Not a wrinkle on her face
You would not believe the plot she conceived
So they'd let her take my place

Well, no man is an island
No man is a sea
But this display of emotion
Is all but drowning me

What a show
Oh, what a show
On my show (the Barry Williams Show)
It's my show (what a show you're looking at)
(What a show) dysfunctional excess (the Barry Williams Show)
(What a show) is all it took for my success (you're looking at)

The best TV you've ever seen
Where people say the things that they really mean
I hear my name, I hear them roar
For the one more time I take the floor
Just one more Barry Williams Show
We're gonna take you where you want to go
(Showtime)
That's showtime

Come on down
Come on down, yeah, come on down
Come on down
Down, down
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, come on down
(Come on down, come on down)
Come on down, yeah
