Marie got cancer on a saturday night
She said ho, I'm gonna hurl it to a tv show
They said it's simple as simple can get
When they met, they said the public needs a piece of the fun

Dress down wear your brightest smile
And light up! and light up!

They want the whole damn set on the summer
They want your whole damn life on the summer screen
They want your eyes to swell up and water
They want you stripped down naked and gasolined
And they all want a part in the scene
It's alright

Marie can bear it she's in real good shape
She's ok, she knows it's better than staying home
She knows it's courage that the public wants
And she gives and she gives and she gives

They want the whole damn set on the summer
They want your whole damn life on the summer screen
They want your eyes to swell up and water
They want you stripped down naked and gasolined
And they all want a part in the scene
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

They want the whole damn set on the summer
They want your whole damn life on the summer screen
They want your eyes to swell up and water
They want you stripped down naked and gasolined
Stripped down naked and gasolined
And they all want a part in the scene
