The Lyrics

"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia" but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never assume the title of a show is also the name of the main character!""
Titular, titular, feel dumb
I thought that I was right, I was right
But no, I failed to name that guy, name that guy, oh-ooh-whoa
Why can't you, why can't you just let it go?

The title's misleadin', bit of a lie
Looks like it was meanin' to be the type
Of name-of-a-show which has just one focus (only one focus)
Character, the main one, sorry if I
Sound just a bit vacant, a cluttered mind
When I'm tryna focus on what feels bogus (oh-oh-oh)
'Cause I guess that it wasn't his name
And now all I feel is shame
I gotta know why can't you, why can't you just let it go?

Titular, titular, feel dumb
I didn't get it right, get it right
I'd hoped that my instincts were tight, really tight, oh-ooh-whoa
Why can't you, why can't you just let it go?
Titular, titular, feel dumb
Show played tricks on my mind, on my mind
The only one to fail? Not right, can't be right, oh-ooh-whoa
Why can't you, why can't you just let it go?

Is he Shazam or is that just what he's shoutin'?
His name ain't Zelda, that's the princess, you're clownin'
On me, I should know through culture osmosis (sheer osmosis)
Not ev'rybody grows up the same (oh-oh-ooh-ah)
And I've yet to watch one frame
I gotta know why can't you, why can't you just let it go?

Titular, titular, feel dumb
'Cause my guess wasn't right, wasn't right
You don't need to drag me online, drag online, oh-ooh-whoa
Why can't you, why can't you just let it go?
Titular (oh), titular (oh), feel dumb
Logic was a straight line, a straight line (a straight line)
I know the truth now, got it right, got it right, oh-ooh-whoa
Why can't you, why can't you just let it go?

A small mistake of mine, why can't you just let it go?
Not alright, I wanna know why can't you, why can't you
I wanna know why can't you, why can't you
I gotta know why can't you, why can't you just let it go?

I didn't intend this as I was writing the top comment, but I realise that paraphrasing a Vizzini quote does back up the parody's assertion that people who rail on other people for simple mistakes are kinda, you know, knobs.
