The Lyrics

The greatest host in television history.
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Those tributes are bound to get you,

Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Those tributes are bound to get you,

Tribute, tribute, tribute, tribute, tribute...mmm...

(female vocal)

Barker’s dead,
Start in to read, then soon, you’ll be reading,
Barker’s dead,
A game show host, the tributes are fleeting,

Sick kids, teens,
Through the whole darn nation, (dee-de-oh!)
Watched TV,
Barker’s Beauties helped get those kids on their feet,

Barker’s dead,
“The Price is Right”; his signature game show,
Barker’s dead,
Go blow your nose, ‘cause Drew Carey knows that

If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll thank him at once,
Well, you knew him from TV,
Now, Bob Barker’s dead!

(vocal trio)

Barker’s dead,
Start in to read, then soon, you’ll be reading,
Barker’s dead,
A game show host, the tributes are fleeting,

Sick kids, teens,
Through the whole darn nation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
Watched TV,
Barker’s Beauties helped get those kids on their feet,

Barker’s dead,
“The Price is Right”; his signature game show,
Barker’s dead,
Go blow your nose, ‘cause Drew Carey knows that

If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll thank him at once,
You knew him from TV,
Now, Bob Barker’s dead, whoa!

Barker’s dead,
(instrumental call-back)
Barker’s dead,
(instrumental call-back)

Sick kids, teens,
Through the whole darn nation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
Watched TV,
Barker’s Beauties helped get those kids on their feet,

Barker’s dead,
(instrumental call-back)
Barker’s dead,
(instrumental call-back)

If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll thank him at once,
You knew him from TV,
Now, Bob Barker’s dead, whoa!

Simple as the day is long!
