Andy on TV

L: Brian Webb

I’d like to know what everyone knew then

The real life Andy Kaufman right in your living room

I’m not so sure if it was real or just to fake you out

For some reason I just want to know what it’s all about because…

I saw Andy Kaufman on TV

Looked into the screen and wondered if that’s me

I saw Andy Kaufman on TV

Did you see Andy Kaufman on primetime?

Always had a chance to be on Saturday Night Live

Dropped from all his ratings from a wrestling binge

The women seemed to care but never gave him an inch because…

They saw Andy Kaufman on TV

Wrestling the man from hit shows like Taxi

They saw Andy Kaufman on TV

What do you know about Andy Kaufman

Probably just as much as me

A mysterious man now lies in a coffin

Now we only hold on to the memory:

Watching the wrestling; making fun of the south

Nothing could stop the run of his mouth.

I only wish I could go inside his mind

If I looked around I wonder what I’d find

Non-comedic knowledge in which I’d be doused

But I don’t want to get lost in the funhouse

I saw Andy Kaufman on TV

Looked into the screen and wondered if that’s me
