Andy Did You Hear About This One?
Andy Did You Hear About This One?
Andy Kaufman
The Song-and-Dance Man
Bitch don't you call him
A comedian

The most complete entertainer
There can ever be
SNL, Taxi, wrestling,
Goofing on Elvis and Carnegie

"One hundred bottles of beer on the wall
One hundred bottles of beer
Take one down, pass it around
Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall"

Born was Andy Kaufman
The greatest entertainer of all time
January seventeenth
Nineteen-fourty nine

Dad said no more entertaining
The people on the wall
"You should be outside
Throwing around a ball"

So he went for his sister
And and drug her in by her hair
He performed in front of her
Like a million were people there

At the teeny weeny comedy club
Called The Improvisation
Andy was "goofing on Elivs"
And became a sensation

"75 bottles of beer on the wall
75 botlles of beer
If one of those bottles should happen to fall
74 bottles of beer on the wall"

Dick Ebersol asked for Andy
To come out and audition
For a new show called Saturday Night-
Not then a weekly live tradition

Andy Kaufman
stood up to say
"Here I come
To save the day!!!"

Twelve more appearances
Did he make on that show
It really fucking sucks
That they said he must go

One hundred ninety-five thousand
Five hundred fourty-four
That's the number that sent Andy
Out the SNL door

"50 bottles of beer on the wall
50 botlles of beer
Are you still here?
49 bottles of beer on the wall"

Johnny Carson, Lisa Hartman
Mike Douglas and Dinah Shore
Andy hired Tony Clifton
To open at The Comedy Store

Andy's most controversial stunt:
Wrestling with women
Began when Andy defeated
Marylin Rubin

This did not brush off as chivalrous
In Memphis, Tennessee
But thousands of raving rednecks
Came out to see

Kaufman fought over four hundred ladies
He never lost a match to a "her"
What a great act that was
He and Jerry Lawler

"25 bottles of beer on the wall
25 botlles of beer
Move along - there's nothing to see here
24 bottles of beer on the wall"

On the back of his neck
Grew a rare form of lung cancer
Whether is was just another prank,
No one really knew the answer

But a prank it was not
As everyone soon came to believe
This was not just another
Trick up his sleeve

In his last humongous show
At Carnagie Hall
Andy provided transportation
And milk and cookies for all

Six twenty-seven PM
May sixteenth, nineteen-eightyfour
Large-cell carcinoma got him-
The great Andy Kaufman was no more

"1 bottle of beer on the wall
1 botlle of beer
I'm not a comedian - I'm a song and dance man
NO MORE bottles of beer on the wall"

Andy Kaufman is here
To save the day
In his own special
Andy Kaufman way

On our toes,
At the edge of our seats
When Andy was around
That's just where we'd be

Andy did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Andy are you goofing on Elvis?
Hey baby, are you having fun?

You are the Man on the Moon
We will miss you a bunch
I'll see you in heaven if I make the list
"Dank you veddy much"

Sorry, this is all that I have yet. I'm working on it though.
