The Lyrics
For the last ten years, I have been trying to get on Jeopardy! at least thirteen times. I have not been able to land a spot at an in-person audition.
I'll be there to test my intellect
On national TV
Against a teacher and a curator
Without a Ph.D.
Could be tense
Could be nervous
It will likely be my night
Alex Trebek gives the answers
And I'll likely get the questions right
So, so...
Put me on Jeopardy, baby
Ooooooooooooooh
Put me on Jeopardy, baby
Ooooooooooooooh
I just hope there won't be trouble now
Laughing to the bank
Cause I'll get the Daily Double now
My mind better not go blank
I'll take Potpourri for two thousand
But my head better not spin
Well, I ain't giving up
Johnny Gilbert
Just tell me now what I'm gonna win
Yeah, yeah
Put me on Jeopardy, baby
Ooooooooooooooh
Put me on Jeopardy, baby
Ooooooooooooooh
Johnny Gilbert:
That's right, Michael. You're the champion! And let me tell you what you're gonna win: $22,801 on your first day, $64,000 on day two, a record $100,000 on day three, and $50,000 on day four! But that's not all! Your $236,801 in winnings over four days qualifies you for the Tournament of Champions, which pays you $250,000 more if you win it! This will be crossed off your bucket list yet! And it will be another item for your resume! Congratulations, Jeopardy! Champion!
Never thought I would win so much
I guess I just happened to be bright
I don't know if I'll ever top that
In the future on The Price is Right
Ite, ite...
Put me on Jeopardy, baby
Ooooooooooooooh
Put me on Jeopardy, baby
Ooooooooooooooh
Put me on Jeopardy, baby
On national TV

Put me on Jeopardy, baby
Ooooooooooooooh
Put me on Jeopardy, baby
