An offer and a pilot drew him west
C
The series bombed, commercials came
Bdim7
And though nobody knew his name
F                       G            C
They all recognized the potential he possessed

Deodorants and dental floss and how much does that new car cost

It goes like this, we have no choice;

And vaguely Celtic music fills the air
