Watch The Show - M. Ward

Written by：M. Ward

Good night to all you late night TV watchers

And let me say good morning to you all

At the sound of my voice

Through this microphone line

Consider that your wake up call

Wake up call

My name is Billy R.Burrows

I am not the man you think I am

Some mistake me for a writer

Some mistake me for another network man

I am the guy who has just hijacked this channel

This telecast is now under my control

My control

And now that I have the chance

To say what's on my mind

Let me tell you tales untold

For thirty years I've worked here at this TV station

In an editing room no one has ever seen

Inserting laughter after every punch line

And gasping after every scream

But now I want you to give me back

The years that I have wasted

Staring at these television screens

Screens

And now that I have your attention

Let me show you what I mean

As I remember back when I was in high school

I never thought I'd stoop so low

I thought I'd be the guy unmasking the clown

Not the guy out polishing his nose

So tomorrow on your way to work

Who'll be wearing the emperor's clothes

Watch the show

Watch the show

Emm

Watch the show
