Gladiators, Gladiators, on the BBC
Where warriors compete, and everyone's free
To watch the action, and cheer on their team
Though now it's on the BBC, it's not quite the same

Gladiators, Gladiators, on the BBC
It's the same old show, but it's not quite free
The budget's been slashed, the sets are shoddy
And the presenters are all a bit dodgy

There's Wolf, who's still trying to be cool
And Jet, who's still looking like a fool
And then there's referee John Anderson
Who's still blowing his whistle, like a madman

Gladiators, Gladiators, on the BBC
It's the same old show, but it's not quite free
The budget's been slashed, the sets are shoddy
And the presenters are all a bit dodgy

But still we watch, for some unknown reason
Maybe it's nostalgia, or maybe we're just teasin'
Or maybe it's just because we're bored
Whatever the reason, we're hooked, and we can't afford
To miss a single episode

Gladiators, Gladiators, on the BBC
It's the same old show, but it's not quite free
The budget's been slashed, the sets are shoddy
And the presenters are all a bit dodgy

Gladiators, Gladiators, on the BBC
It's not quite the same, but it's still a bit of a spree
