The Lyrics
Pay, (Start in to pay, you’ll have to play)
Then you’ll play, (Start in to pay, you’ll have to play)
Powerball is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, get on your feet)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, get on your feet)
Powerball is bound to get you,
Power... power... power... power... power... mmm...
(solo singer)
Powerball,
Start in to pay, then soon you’ll be playing
Powerball,
Turn on the heat, the tickets are fleeting,
One, two, three,
It’s the world’s sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the game that’s putting the world on its feet,
Powerball,
Their site went down, you have to buy tickets,
Powerball,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that,
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, get tickets at once,
Well, numbers from nine to three,
Play the Powerball!
(vocal group)
Powerball,
Start in to pay, then soon you’ll be playing
Powerball,
Turn on the heat, the tickets are fleeting,
One, two, three,
It’s the world’s sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the game that’s putting the world on its feet,
Powerball,
Their site went down, you have to buy tickets,
Powerball,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that,
If you’re not a dunce,
Get tickets at once,
Numbers from nine to three,
Play the Powerball, whoa!
Powerball,

Then you’ll play, (Start in to pay, you’ll have to play)
Powerball is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, get on your feet)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, get on your feet)
Powerball is bound to get you,
Power... power... power... power... power... mmm...

Half-a-year late, but glad to know that you don’t find my parodies informative. Perhaps it’s time to reprise this one now that the Powerball jackpot is now up to $1.2 billion?
