lyrics

Buy the right magazines,
Lick those stickers, lick ‘em clean.
Another dance with old Lady Luck.
Oh no!
Ed McMahon strikes again.
Another foolish, foolish man
Wins 10 million bucks.
10 million came, 10 million went.
Now he stands alone depressed,
Wonderin’ how it all went wrong!
10 corvettes, cigarettes,
All that money spent
On lotto quick pix, scratch 'n win!
Swimming pools, all them jewels,
Fry daddies placed in every room,
A gold plated diamond for his wife!
Oh Nacho fountains,
Cocaine mountains,
Cryogenic poodle countin’,
Can’t get enough of those collector’s edition knives.
Sally Struthers GED,
Remote control to find his keys,
Rented Dollywood for a week.
(Rolly coasters funnel cake)
A clapper turn on all devices,
Salt and pepper are his favorite spices,
Took his morning bath in mountain dew.
(Code red berry blast)
Took his segway on vacation,
‘spensive tools for masturbation,
1-900 phone donations too!
Buy the right magazines,
Lick those stickers, lick ‘em clean.
Another dance with old Lady Luck.
Oh no!
Ed McMahon strikes again.
Another foolish, foolish man
Wins 10 million bucks.
10 million came, 10 million went.
Now he stands alone depressed,
Wonderin’ how it all went wrong!
Oh no! Ahhhhhhh! Oh no!
