Percy's Pressure - James Corden

I thought I’d made it, celebrated, when I got my TV show

But the haters out there hating got my ratings low, low, low

It’s hard to compete with videos of twerking hogs

And water skiing squirrels and monkeys riding on the backs of dogs

(So much pressure)

Have mercy!

I’m not the Percy that you’ve always heard about

That Percy, he was successful, that Percy had a lot of clout

Back then, back when, I was high on that hill

But now, I’m broke here on the bottom with no way to pay my bills

It’s getting harder every day to catch a break

So when I see a chance, then it’s a chance I really need to take

I’m just looking for a way of bouncing back

The rent is due, I’m in a fix and I’m about to crack

(Under pressure)

Brenda, I’m making this up on the spot

(Under pressure)

Which is impressive, lets be honest.

Come on!

Brenda, Brenda I’m a desperate man!

So help me get back on the top a-rockin' again!

(No pressure)

Brenda, Brenda won’t you hear my plea?

The weight of all the world is really weighing on me!

(So much pressure)

This is no time to quit

I’m on the verge of a hit

And I’m determined to make this a success, yeah

Brenda, tell me you see

All the potential of me

I’ll do whatever it takes to make you say yes

Down on my knees

Begging you please

Won’t you tell me you understand

Lend me a hand

All you’ve gotta save me, save me, save me, save me
