Lyrics

(Let's go) One man at the window One girl at the bar Saw the look of recognition When they know just who you are Seen you on the TV I seen you on that show You make the people crazy And then, you let them go Before the show, we calm them We sympathise, we care And the hostile folk, we keep apart 'Til 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 What a show (the Barry Williams Show) What a show (you're looking at) (What a show) dysfunctional excess (the Barry Williams Show) (What a show) is all it took for my success (you're looking at) (What a show) the greater pain that they endure (the Barry Williams Show) (What a show) the more you know, the show will score (you're looking at) It's showtime 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 girl became a man" "I love my daughter's rapist" "My life's gone down the pan" What a show (the Barry Williams Show) It's my show (what a show you're looking at) (What a show) dysfunctional excess (the Barry Williams Show) (What a show) is all it took for my success (you're looking at) (What a show) and when the punches start to fly (the Barry Williams Show) (What a show) the ratings always read so high (you're looking at) Showtime 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 What a show Oh, what a show On my show (the Barry Williams Show) It's my show (what a show you're looking at) (What a show) dysfunctional excess (the Barry Williams Show) (What a show) is all it took for my success (you're looking at) 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 take you where you want to go (Showtime) That's showtime Come on down Come on down, yeah, come on down Come on down Down, down Come on down, come on down Come on down, come on down (Come on down, come on down) Come on down, yeah
