The Barry Williams Show - Live
One man at the window
One girl at the bar
Saw that look of recognition
When they know just who you are
I seen you on the TV
I seen you on that show
Where 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
Till 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 out
What a show, the Barry Williams Show
What a show you're looking out
Dysfunctional excess
Is all it took for my success
Its showtime
Got the reputation of a surgeon
Because 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"
"I keep beating up my ex"
"I want to 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
What a show you're looking out
It's my show, the Barry Williams Show
It's my show, you're looking out
Dysfunctional excess
Is all it took for my success
Its showtime
That girl has got no scruples
Not a wrinkle on her face
You would not believe the plot she concieved
So they 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
What a show you're looking out
It's my show, the Barry Williams Show
It's my show you're looking out
Dysfunctional excess
Is all it took for my success
The best TV you've ever seen
Where people say the things 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
It's showtime
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
