Lyrics

[Intro] A-one two three four [Verse 1] I woke up last night shakin' from a dream For in that dream, I died My wife rolled over and told me That my life would be immortalized Not in some major motion picture Or great American novel, you see No, they're gonna make a TV movie outta me [Chorus] Well now, it's one two three, you take the money Yeah, it's as easy as A B C Yeah, they're gonna make a TV movie outta me [Verse 2] Well, they can change my name or they can leave it Yeah, they can change my story too Or they can make me black or Chinese And do things that I never did do They're gonna give my life a whole new ending And put me in prime time first-run And when it's over, what I did there will be what I done [Chorus] Well, now I don't want my name in a history book Nobody's ever gonna see No, they're gonna make a TV movie outta me (Let's rock and roll alright, oh yeah) [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Yeah, well, it's one two three, you take the money I mean it's as easy as A B C Well, they're gonna make a TV movie outta me (One more verse now) [Verse 3] Well, I'm a shoo-in for a sponsor Goodyear blimp and radial wheels Somebody had a meeting somewhere Somehow somebody made a deal Well, I was one of them kinds of stories That everybody liked to see Yeah, they're gonna make a TV movie outta me [Chorus] Now, I don't want no inscription on my gravestone No long soliloquy No, they're gonna make a TV movie outta me (One more time) Well, it's one two three, you take the money I mean it's easy as A B C Yeah, they're gonna make a TV movie outta me (Alright)
