I woke up last night shaking 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 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 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. 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 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 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).
