Leave the TV On (Silk Sonic Parody) Lyrics

[Pre-Intro: Stephen Colbert]
That's it for A Late Show, everybody. I had a good time. I hope you did too
James Corden Is next. Goodnight

[Intro: James Corden]
Say baby, say baby, say baby

[Verse 1: Reggie Watts, James Corden, & The Late Late Show band]
What you doin'? (What you doin'?)
Where you at? (Where you at?)
You're going to bed? (It's so late)
Don't say that (Shut yo’ trap)

You watched the news (Local)
Then Colbert (Stephen)
What'd ya think? (What'd you think?)
Well, I don't care (Woohoo)

His desk clean (Real clean)
My band's lit (So lit)
New suit (Spanx under my fit)

I know you're sleeping and dreaming
On the east coast, on the west coast
We'll be waiting for ratings
[Pre-Chorus: James Corden, Reggie Watts, & The Late Late Show band]
You don't have to stay up
But our numbers will drop if you touch the remote
So if you're gonna head up to bed

[Chorus: James Corden, Reggie Watts, & The Late Late Show band]
Could ya leave the TV on?
(Could ya leave the TV on?)
Could ya leave the TV on, girl?
(Could you leave the tv on, ‘til dawn?)

If you wanna show us love
But you're trying to get some shuteye tonight, baby
You can leave the show on mute
Girl

[Bridge: Reggie Watts, James Corden, & The Late Late Show band]
La, la, la, la-la-la-la
We're boosting ratings
La, la, la, la-la-la-la
We gotta beat Seth Meyers
La, la, la, la-la-la-la
Girl, we're tryna feed our kids
Na nana na, nana na, na na


[Chorus: James Corden, Reggie Watts, & The Late Late Show band]
Hey, hey
Could you leave the TV on, baby?
(Could ya leave the TV on?)
Could you leave, could you leave the TV on, girl?
(Could you leave the TV on, ‘til dawn?)
And I'm hopin', hopin'
That you feel the way I feel
And you want my voice to soothe you to sleep, baby
Or just find us on YouTube

[Outro: James Corden]
I guess it’s time to roll those titles

Genius Annotation

“It’s safe to say Silk Sonic’s GRAMMYs performance left an impression on James Corden, Reggie Watts, and The Late Late Show band. Doing their best Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak, the gang has one request: please leave the TV on after The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ends.”
