The Lyrics
What’s this on TV? Oh my gosh, Jeopardy,
turn it on immediately, find out what I know.
Category: presidents, Virginia resident,
Can it be, let me see, who is James Monroe?
TV shows, foreign flicks, crazy politician chicks,
Facts and I just don’t mix, but I can’t move my gaze
Country names, history, synonyms tongue-twistery,
Make my brain cells blistery, bother me for days
CHORUS
Trivia gets me tired
Now my brain is churning
with this useless learning
Trivia gets me tired
I don’t want to know it,
But I can’t forgo it
And when I study for my class, try to learn enough to pass,
Calculus, molar mass—none of it will stay.
While my mind’s like a sieve learning the derivative,
I retain all that I learned on Jeopardy that day:
Harold Pinter writes plays, Nureyev, he did ballet,
Nineteen-twenty-three: that’s when Disney came to be,
The meaning of factorial, the length of El Escorial,
The color of some actor’s eye—Alex Trebek needs to die!
Trivia gets me tired
Now my brain is churning
with this useless learning
Trivia gets me tired
I don’t want to know it,
But I can’t forgo it
Why do I even care who was born in Delaware,
Or who wrote “Native Son”, or the inventor of the gun?
Useless information, mental enervation,
But I can’t stand being wrong, so I watch and play along.
Though I hate trivia so, still I have to, need to know
The writer of that one song, the native country of the Hmong,
Brain can’t override all the facts that are inside, but
MUST STAY---MUST PLAY---what else do I have to say!!
Trivia gets me tired
Now my brain is churning
with this useless learning
Trivia gets me tired
I don’t want to know it,
But I can’t forgo it
Was it Jim Carrey that starred in “Cat in the Hat?”
I was wrong, what a fright! Must play till I get it right!
I don’t care who began the role of Hemingway’s Old Man
Yet I’ve just got to win—“Who is Anthony Quinn?”
Yes! I am on a roll, best keep going, lose control!
Remember this, but forget the answers to that problem set…
Only now I realize, concepts I must memorize!
Now my brain is really sore, I can't take it anymore
Trivia gets me tired
Now my brain is churning
with this useless learning
Trivia gets me tired,
And with every yawn
All those facts go on, and on, and on, and on...
