I'm the Star of the Show Countdown Lyrics and Musical Arrangement Copyright Michael Curtis 2022 A parody of The Star of the County Down Lead in: Em G D, Em D Em: I'm the star of the show Countdown! Em G D: The other day I saw a fair maid. Em C D: And all I could say was, "Phwoar!" Em G D: She said to me buy a dictionary. My Em D Em: Vocabulary was poor. G D Em: I said, "Fair maid that's a big mistake; Em C D: Your beauty tied my tongue. I know Em G D: 20,000 English words Em D Em: The full English lexicon." G D Em: She doubted me; she could not believe. Em C D: She took from her bag a board. Em G D: But you know you're in trouble if you challenge me to Scrabble Em D Em: I'm a whizz at the triple score. G D Em: I know every word. I know every verb. Every Em C D: adjective and noun. Em G D: I know I said, "Phwoar" but on Channel 4 I'm the Em D Em: star of the show Countdown...... Em G D: I told the maid you will lose this game Em C D: Do you not know who I am? Em G D: I'm the star of the 80s TV show; you know the Em D Em: one with Carol Vordermann. G D Em: It was so hard Random number cards; and a Em C D: Target number answer. Em G D: I can multiply any figure you like Em D Em: I'm the hundred times table master. Em G D: She said, "For scorn!" I was not even born; and far- Em C D: Fetched this show doth sound. Em G D: She did not believe my celebrity Em D Em: I'm the star of the show Countdown...... Em G D: I said fair maid what is this game that you Em C D: Chose to challenge me? Em G D: I'll win whichever game you choose; every Em D Em: Trivial Pursuit category. G D Em: For an anagram I'm yer man Em C D: And I rock at sudoku. Em G D: Wordle"s no fun When you solve it in one; and Em D Em: Hangman slips the noose. G D Em: Still in denial; we chose seven tiles; and Em C D: Scrabble did we play. Em G D: Whatever her letter, I played better Em D Em Up and down, horizontally. G D Em: When she played 'Oar', I played 'Phwoar' Em C D: When she played 'Crow' I played 'Crown'. Em G D: She said, "Indeed, I accept defeat; Em D Em: You're the star of the show Countdown."
