I Lost on Jeopardy Songtext
von “Weird Al” Yankovic

Oh...
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 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 your
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...
