The Lyrics

The greatest game in human history.
Pay, (Start in to pay, you’ll have to play)
Then you’ll play, (Start in to pay, you’ll have to play)
Powerball is bound to get you,

Oh, (Turn on the heat, get on your feet)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, get on your feet)
Powerball is bound to get you,

Power... power... power... power... power... mmm...

(solo singer)

Powerball,
Start in to pay, then soon you’ll be playing
Powerball,
Turn on the heat, the tickets are fleeting,

One, two, three,
It’s the world’s sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the game that’s putting the world on its feet,

Powerball,
Their site went down, you have to buy tickets,
Powerball,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that,

If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, get tickets at once,
Well, throw rabbits up a tree,
Play the Powerball!

(vocal group)

Powerball,
Start in to pay, then soon you’ll be playing
Powerball,
Turn on the heat, the tickets are fleeting,

One, two, three,
It’s the world’s sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the game that’s putting the world on its feet,

Powerball,
Their site went down, you have to buy tickets,
Powerball,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that,

If you’re not a dunce,
Get tickets at once,
Throw rabbits up a tree,
Play the Powerball, whoa!

Powerball,
(instrumental call-back)
Powerball,
(instrumental call-back)

One, two, three,
It’s the world’s sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the game that’s putting the world on its feet,

Powerball,
(instrumental call-back)
Powerball,
(instrumental call-back)

If you’re not a dunce,
Get tickets at once,
Throw rabbits up a tree,
Play the Powerball, whoa!

Simple as the day is long!

Say, looks like Fedora Fred's got a new obsession. Can’t wait to read the next eight “parodies” about some stupid lottery game.
