[Intro 1]
[B][Cm][C][Em]
[D][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Goodnight
to all you late night tv [D]watchers,
And [Em]let me say good morning to you a[D]ll,
At [Em]the sound of my voice
through this mi[D]crophone line,
Con[Em]sider that your wake up call.
[D]

[Verse 2]
My [Em]name is [D]Billy
I'm [Em]not the man you think I [D]am,
[Em]Some mistake me for [D]a writer,
Some [Em]mistake me for another network man.
[D]

[Verse 3]
I am the [E]guy who has just
[Em]hijacked this chan[D]nel,
This [E]telecast is now under my [Em]con [D]trol,
And [B]now that I have the chance
to [C]say what's on my mind,
[B]Let me tell you tales [C]un told.

[Interlude 1]
[C][Em]
[D][Em][D]

[Verse 4]
[Em]For [B]30 years I've
worked [Em]here [B]at this [D]tv station,
In an [Em]editing room no one has ever [B]seen,
[D]
Inserting [Em]laughter af[B]ter
[E]every [Em]punc[D]hline,
And [Em]gasping after every scream.
[D]

[Verse 5]
But [Em]now I want you to give me back,
The [D]years that I have wasted,
[Em]Staring at these television [D]screens,
And [B]now that I have your at[C]tention,
Let [B]me show you what I [C]mean.
[B]

[Interlude 2]
[Em][D][Em][D][Em]
[D]

[Verse 6]
Because I [Em]remember back
when I was in [D]high school,
I [Em]never thought I'd stoop so [C]low,[D]
I [Em]thought I'd be the guy on
un[D]masking the clown,
Not the [Em]guy out polishing his nose.
[D]

[Verse 7]
So to[B]morrow on your way into work,
[C]
Who will be [B]wearing the emperor's
[C]clo[Em]ths?[D][Em]
[D][Em]

[Outro 1]
Watch the show.
