LYRICS

he always used to be on tv
now he's on it rarely
his name was barrymore
has he lost it all?
he's got no chance with the bbc
channel five's his best bet for me
but is he innocent?
or is he guilty?

michael barrymore
michael barrymore
has he gone for good?
or will he be back for more?

they found a man in his pool
with his face to the ground
traces of cocaine
were predictably found
just to prove they were keen
the nem in blue burst on the scene
they say the wet guy's dead
but i bet twenty grand you're clean

michael barrymore
michael barrymore
but he jumped back in
can't swim no more
michael barrymore
michael barrymore
accidental death
ponderous thought

michael barrymore
michael barrymore
i think he's great
but do channel four?
do channel four?
do channel four?
