Lyrics

The TK show is pitiful
Tony knows no shame
The host behaves just pitiful
How did he get his fame?
This world Tony cannot understand now
It makes the Littles feel so blue
Whoa its all so pitiful cause
It’s all about him, not about you

This broadcast is so pitiful
This everybody knows now
This show stinks its so pitiful
We hear it every day
What nobody seems to understand now
How can a man whine such a sad tone?
Ooh when he begs everything he has

How can I explain to you
So many listen the way we do
He talks about meaningless things
Not one of us would do,

Mr. Pitiful, baby, that's his name
We write to Mr. Pitiful
Hoping he’ll read our name
But nobody seems to understand now
What makes Littles sing and write the way we do
We might call him pitiful but
Somehow we’ll tune in again tomorrow too

A parody of "Mr. Pitiful" by Otis Redding (but more in the style of The Commitments, really....)
