Wanna Be on MTV

Loudon Wainwright III

I don't wanna be on the periphery
I wanna be on MTV
Get me a midget and blonde with breasts
Pretty little Martha take care of the rest

MTV, MTV
Got get me on MTV
What's gonna happen to little old me
If I don't get on MTV?

Yeah, video's happenin' and that's no joke
With a vague idea and a whole lot of smoke
Gotta be on the box in fifty states
JJ will be tellin ' you my tour dates

MTV, MTV
Got get me on MTV
What's gonna happen to little old me
If I don't get on MTV?

Sex sellin' shampoo or old blue jeans
The state of art justifies the means
If you got three minutes and a mess of machines
You could make a mountain out of a hill of beans

MTV, MTV
Lip synchin' comes easy to me
MTV, MTV
I'm gonna get me on MTV

And when I get on MTV
You can win a contest and have dinner with me
Mark and Nina they seem the same
I can never remember the blonde guy's name

MTV, MTV
Got get on it
It's rock and roll potpourri
I got to get me on MTV
