And now,
Our time is up
And so we face the final Emmy
Endured each sappy speech
And scripted jokes
Of which there were many

We've snoozed, we've laughed and cried
And scoffed at gowns that looked quite scary
But now, the envelope please...
It goes to Barry

Mistakes, there were a few
But none that ever sparked my ire
Yet this, it takes the cake
It's perfect bait
For easy satire

We know this big award
Should have been for
Moe, Curly, and Larry
But no, not on this night
It goes to Barry

There was a time, as I recall
When singers sang and that was all
2006, the times have changed
They've invaded film, TV, and stage
For Manilow, it goes to show
He's embraced the new way

This man, he wrote the songs,
He reached the top with one called "Mandy"
So now, he can't go wrong
Wait, shouldn't he be at the Grammys?

Let's reminisce, of way back when
When no award was unnecessary
Not like, not like '06
When one's for Barry

So Manilow, should learn his facts
Emmys are for people who act
The silver screen's not his forte
The piano's where he ought to stay
His records sell
Oh, what the hell
The award goes to Barry
