Oh I wish that life was like a gameshow
I could use my smarts and my intelligence
Oh my folks would be so very proud of me
If I won them a years supply of Captain Crunch
Oh I wish that life was more like Card Sharks
All you'd have to do is pick the right card
But I hope that life is not like Jeopardy
Just because Jeopardy's a little too hard
If I don't win the Sony television, or a stereo
A case of Rice-A-Roni will last me for a year or so
You too can be a winner
Even though you are only a beginner
Being lucky is a given
When you're rolling with Merv Griffin
Life's a wheel and you spin it
Not how you play but, but how you win it
Life's a stage and we are the players
Joker, joker, double slayer
Oh I think it's time I had a break now
Everyday's the same you know I'm feeling stuck
If the Wheel of Fortune will not let me play
I could always try my hand at Press Your Luck
I never knew that life could be so easy
I can be the boss of my own company
It is only five half-hour shifts every week
Cash and prizes make for me a great salary
Pat Sajak is a saviour, he always has a vowel for sale
If I could pick the mayor, I'd vote for Wink Martendale
Life's a wheel and you spin it
Not how you play but, but how you win it
Everyday I slave a stupid job
When I could be winning on a gameshow
Never worry, don't fret now
Win yourself a new Corvette now
Be a star on television
If you make the right decision
Life's a wheel and you spin it
Not how you play but, but how you win it
Life's a stage and we are the players
Joker, joker, double slayer
