The Barry Williams Show

Lyrics

[Intro] Let's go [Verse 1] One man at the window One girl at the bar Saw the look of recognition When they know just who you are I've seen you on the TV I've seen you on that show You make the people crazy And then you let them go Before the show we calm them We sympathize, we care And the hostile folk we keep apart Till the red light says 'on air' Did you see our leather lovers All tied up to the chair? Did you catch those child molesters? No one else goes there [Chorus] (What a show) What a show (The Barry Williams Show) (What a show you're looking at) What a show (What a show) Dysfunctional excess (The Barry Williams Show) (What a show you're looking at) Is all it took for my success (What a show) The greater pain that they endure (The Barry Williams Show) (What a show, don't want to go) The more you know the show will score It's showtime [Verse 2] Got the reputation of a surgeon 'cause they cannot feel the cut It looks so very simple But it really is an art They call our studio the hospital Making money from the sick We let people be themselves There is no other trick "My lover stole my girlfriend" "Keep beating up my ex" "I wanna kill my neighbour" "My daughter's selling sex" "My SM lover hurt me" "My girl became a man" "I love my daughter's rapist" "My life's gone down the pan" [Chorus] (What a show, The Barry Williams Show) (What a show you're looking at) It's my show (What a show) Dysfunctional excess (The Barry Williams Show) (What a show you're looking at) Is all it took for my success (What a show) And when the punches start to fly (The Barry Williams Show) (What a show, don't want to go) The ratings always read so high Showtime [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] That girl has got no scruples Not a wrinkle on her face You would not believe the plot she conceived So they'd let her take my place Well, no man is an island No man is a sea But this display of emotion Is all but drowning me [Chorus] What a show Oh, what a show On my show (The Barry Williams Show) (What a show you're looking at) It's my show (What a show) Dysfunctional excess (The Barry Williams Show) (What a show, don't want to go) Is all it took for my success [Bridge] The best TV you've ever seen Where people say the things that they really mean I hear my name, I hear them roar For the one more time I take the floor Just one more Barry Williams Show We're gonna to take you where you want to go Showtime That's showtime [Outro] Come on down Come on down, yeah Come on down Come on down Down Come on down Come on down Come on down Come on down Come on down Come on down (he's got wings, he's got the way of duty) Come on down, yeah (he's got wings, he's got the way of duty) He's got the wings on the way out of, way out On the way out, on the way out, on the way out, on the way
