I Lost On Jeopardy
[Jeopardy/The Greg Kihn Band/1983]
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,

I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)
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
