Studio 60's song and dance sketch lyrics

This comes from 1x02 (1.02, 1 x 02) of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. I found it hilarious last night when it was first aired. I thought I'd share the lyrics for other fans of the show.

THE VERY MODEL OF A MODERN NETWORK TV SHOW
CAST
We'll be the very model of a modern network TV show
Each time that we walk into this august and famous studio
We're starting out from scratch after a run of twenty years and so
We hope that you don't mind that our producer was caught doing blow

CHORUS
They hope that you don't mind that their producer was caught doing blow
They hope that you don't mind that their producer was caught doing blow
They hope that you don't mind that their producer was caught doing mounds of blow

CAST
Yes, it's hard to be a player when at heart you've always had a hunch
To bite the hand that feeds you is a scary way of doing lunch
But still when we walk into this august and famous studio
We'll be the very model of a modern network TV show

CHORUS
But still when they walk into this august and famous studio
They'll be the very model of a modern network TV show

HARRIET
I am a christian tried and true, baptized at age eleven
So unlike the lib'rals, gays and jews i'm going straight to heaven

JEANNIE
But if you feel you've been cheated and our sordid content lets you down

JEANNIE / HARRIET
We'll hap'ly do the favor of an intellectual reach-around

CHORUS
They'll hap'ly do the favor of an intellectual reach-around
They'll hap'ly do the favor of an intellectual reach-around
They'll hap'ly do the favor of hundred-dollar hooker's reach-around
They'll hap'ly do the favor of a verbal euphemistic reach-around

CAST
We know the evangelicals are lining up to tag our toe
And then the corporations will not hesitate to pull their dough
But still when we walk into this august and famous studio
We'll be the very model of a modern network TV show

CHORUS AND CAST
But still when they/ we walk into this august and famous studio
They'll/ we'll be the very model of a modern network TV show
But still when they/ we walk into this august and famous studio
They'll/ we'll be the very model of a modern network TV show
