I'm watching T.V.,
Then I see familiarly -
It's the face - I can't place.
I've seen him before
In shows more than twenty score.
What a shame. Don't know his name.

He's Patty Duke's dad, Dobie Gillis's teacher.
Never the star, but each time he's a feature.
Hundred times reran.
The Unknown T.V. Man.
Unknown T.V. Man.


He played on Get Smart,
To each part he brought his art.
Carson Drew! That was you!
Subbed on Wild Wild West.
He's the best, never would rest.
New Gidget - darn good fit.

He was in Gunsmoke, Twilight Zone, never quibbles.
He played on Star Trek in "The Trouble With Tribbles".
Anything he can.
The Unknown T.V. Man
Unknown T.V. Man.


(Instrumental break)


Bill Schallert's his name,
He's one versatile actor.
'Though never top-billed, in each show he's a factor,
And I am a fan.
The Unknown T.V. Man.
Unknown T.V. Man.

(What's he doing recently?)
Plugs insurance plan.
Unknown T.V. Man.
