I woke up last night shaking from a dream

Fot 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 out of 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 out of me



Well They can change my name or they can leave it

They can change my story too

Or they can make me black or Chinese

And do things that I never 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



Now I don't want my name in a history book

Nobody's ever gonna see

No, they're gonna make a TV movie out of me



CHORUS



Well I'm a shoe-in for 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 out of me

Now I don't want no inscription on my gravestone

No long soliloquy

No they're gonna make a TV movie out of me



CHORUS
