Trivial Pursuit or The Children's Hour
by Jerry Kahn
Oh there once was a war that was played with a score and John Q Public would watch it
Their favorite show to watch other folks go at Six O’clock in the evening
Oh we did try to please those brave camera men as we tried our best to amuse em
but they never staid round when the glad bags came down though we did hope the score it would please em
Oh the sponsors knew as the coaches did too that the scores they kept were uneven
and the fans got so bored with nonsensical scores that the threatened the network with leaving
So they canceled the show and let all of us go back to the towns and the cities
as everyone knows with unpopular shows the networks just had to please em
Those faces they knew that starred long ago they hope no more to be seeing
but directors it seems have started new team’s
Oh I hope there’s no reruns this season
