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 me answers

But I couldn't get the questions right

I lost on Jeopardy, baby

Oooooooohh

I lost on Jeopardy, baby

Oooooooohh

Well, I know 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 100

Then my head started to spin

Well, I'm givin' up don parto

Just tell me now what I didn't win

I lost on Jeopardy, baby

Oooooooohh

I lost on Jeopardy, baby

Oooooooohh

Spoken:

That's right, Al, you lost! And let me tell you 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 our home game. You're a complete loser!

Sung:

Don't know what I was thinking of

I guess I just wasn't too bright

Well, I sure hope I do better

Next weekend on The Price Is Right

I lost on Jeopardy, baby

Oooooooohh

I lost on Jeopardy, baby

Oooooooohh
