TV Movie

[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)
