Cut along the dotted line --- slip in and seal the flap.
|
Postal competition crazy, though you wear the dunce's cap.
|
Win a fortnight in Ibiza --- line up for the big hand out.
|
You'll never know unless you try --- what winning's all about ---
|
be a quizz kid.
|
Be a whizz kid.
|
|
Six days later there's a rush telegram
|
Drop everything and telephone this number if you can.
|
It's a free trip down to London for a weekend of high life.
|
They'll wine you; dine you; undermine you ---
|
better not bring the wife ---
|
be a quizz kid.
|
Be a whizz kid.
|
|
It's a try out for a quizz show that millions watch each week.
|
Following the fate and fortunes of contestants as they speak.
|
Answerable to everyone; responsible to all; publicity dissected ---
|
brain cells splattered on the walls of encyclopaedic knowledge.
|
May be barbaric but it's fun.
|
As the clock ticks away a lifetime,
|
hold your head up to the gun of a million cathode ray tubes
|
aimed at your tiny skull.
|
May you find sweet inspiration --- may your memory not be dull.
|
May you rise to dizzy success.
|
May your wit be quick and strong.
|
May you constantly amaze us.
|
May your answers not be wrong.
|
May your head be on your shoulders.
|
May your tongue be in your cheek.
|
And most of all we pray that you may come back next week!
|
Be a quizz kid.
|
Be a whizz kid.
