I Lost On Jeopardy - Live 1984

This is a song
A song about our favorite game show

Oh-oh-oh-oh
I was there to match my intellect on national TV
Against a plumber, oh 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
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I lost on Jeopardy, baby
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Well, I knew I was in trouble now
My hope of winning sank
Oh, 'cause I got the Daily Double now
And then my mind went blank
I took Potpourri for 100
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
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I lost on Jeopardy, baby
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

That's right Al, you lost! And let me tell you what you didn't win
A 20-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-ight-ight

I lost on Jeopardy, baby
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I lost on Jeopardy, baby
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I lost on Jeopardy, baby

(Yeah, baby!)
Guitar solo!
Okay, that's enough, Jim West on guitar!
(Go!) This one's-
