I wrote a documentary
that would have won a BAFTA
But nobody would fund it
It was not what they were afta

I pitched the plot to Netflix
cuz they have a lot of money
They sent me packing, laughing
“Don’t call us, we’ll call you, Sonny”

I lastly pitched to Paramount
hoping they’d save the day
They took one look at me
shook their head and said, “No way!”

It’s such a shame that no one knows
your worth unless you’re famous
I always seek some solace from
those cookies made by Amos …

Famous (yummy)  Amos (yummy)
“Makes your eyes light up (and)
Your tummy say ‘Howdy.’”
