Ed McMahon, won't you please knock on my door?
I need some money badly; could you get it here by four?
My bank account is overdrawn; my bills are overdue.
So, Mr. Ed McMahon, I'd really like you to come through...
for me.
The Vikings showed up on my lawn, and said, "It's time to pay."
But I used up my last card, to pay the others yesterday.
I told them they could take my car; they laughed, said, "That won't do."
So listen, Ed McMahon, I really hope you will come through...
for me.
I buy me several tickets. I buy them every day.
Take a shiny penny and I scratch off all the grey.
If I win five dollars, I go and buy five more,
"Cause I'm waiting for your envelope to show up at my door.
Yeah...
So tell me, Ed McMahon, why you've not knocked on my door,
And why I don't see you and Johnny on my TV anymore...
But I still sit here waiting; guess I still believe in you.
So hurry, Ed McMahon, I really need you to come through...
for me.
