Niecy nash: Should I call you lis or pastor lis?
Lis burns: Just lis is fine.
Narrator: Will take us all to church
With her musical knowledge.
♪ love me, love me
♪ I'm a genie in a bottle
Lis burns: I can't believe I just sang
"genie in a bottle" 'cause I'm a pastor.
Niecy nash: Sometimes you got to let it
Out the bottle, honey.
Narrator: But as she climbs the money ladder...
Lis burns: I want to lock in those lyrics!
Narrator: Her faith will be tested.
Niecy nash: I am going to need 12 missing words.
Lis burns: Wow. (laughs) ok.
Narrator: Does she have what it takes
To win $1 million?
Lis burns: This does not feel real! Is this real?
Narrator: Find out right now.
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Please welcome a woman who is tastier
Than the black eyed peas,
Niecy nash.
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Niecy nash: Welcome to "don't forget the lyrics".
Now I don't claim to be a magician,
But tonight I'm going to try to turn one of our contestants
Into a millionaire right before your eyes.
(audience cheering)
But first, let's say hello to the group that is pure magic.
It's ricky and the band.
(upbeat music)
(audience cheering)
Are you guys ready to meet our first rockstar?
She's a pastor from lakeland, florida.
Put your hands together for lis burns.
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Hello. Lis burns: Hello.
Niecy nash: Now, should I call you lis or pastor lis?
Lis burns: (laughs) just lis is fine. Absolutely.
I'm so happy and honoured and grateful to be here.
Niecy nash: All right, well, tell us a little bit more
About yourself, lis.
Lis burns: Yeah, well, I'm a wife and a mom,
But I'm also a pastor.
In fact, I've brought a picture of my family.
Niecy nash: Oh, hey. Lis burns: Yeah.
Niecy nash: That's a handsome bunch.
Lis burns: Thank you. It's kind our family business.
My husband and I are both pastors' kids.
My grandfather was a pastor,
And now our 15 year old son wants to be a pastor too.
So I think it's in our dna somewhere that we want to do this.
Niecy nash: I hope they are praying
For you to win this money tonight.
Lis burns: I think they are. Niecy nash: All right.
This is how it's going to go.
If you give me the correct missing lyrics to 10 songs,
I am going to give you $1 million.
(audience cheering)
Let's take a look at your categories tonight.
Wedding songs, pop, country, rock, 90s, oldies,
Queen, funk, and one-hit wonders.
The first song is worth $2,500 and the money keeps growing
Right up to the million dollar song.
If you make it to $25,000,
That money is guaranteed no matter what.
All right, which category would you like to play for first?
Lis burns: I love pop music. Can we start there?
Niecy nash: I would love to start there.
Let's take a look, lis, at your two song choices.
Lis burns: Ok.
Niecy nash: "genie in a bottle" by christina aguilera
Or "bad day" by daniel powter.
Lis burns: (laughs) ok, I'm a 90s girl,
So I got to go with "genie in a bottle".
Niecy nash: All right.
(audience cheering)
For this song, lis, I'm going to need four missing words.
Lis burns: Ok. Niecy nash: We'll start the song
At the first chorus.
Are you ready?
Lis burns: I think I'm ready. Let's go, I can't believe it.
Niecy nash: She thinks she's ready, ricky.

Great job.
All right, lis, let's take a look.
Christina aguilera said, "you got to make a big impression.
Oh yeah, I got to," you said, "love what you do".
Are you confident in this answer?
Lis burns: Yes, I can't believe I just sang
"genie in a bottle" 'cause I'm a pastor (laughs).
Niecy nash: But you're also a wife
And you're also a woman.
Lis burns: Yes!
Niecy nash: All right?
So sometimes you got to let it out the bottle, honey.
Are you confident in this answer?
Lis burns: I would like to try to change one word,
If that's ok, niecy.
Niecy nash: Sure, which word do you want to change?
Lis burns: Love to like.
Niecy nash: Ok.
♪ you got to make a big impression ♪
♪ I got to like what you do
Lis burns: Ok.
(audience cheering)
I think we're going to do it, niecy.
I think we're going to lock in those lyrics!
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Niecy nash: You locked in those lyrics, lis.
If you are correct, the entire line will turn green.
If any word is wrong,
It'll turn red and the game is over.
Lis burns: Ok. Niecy nash: For $2,500,
Is it like what you do?
(lis laughs)
(drum roll)
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
You've got it right.
You just banked $2,500 and you are well on your way
To that million dollar song.
Lis burns: Ok, we did it. Niecy nash: Yes.
Tara: Woo!
Niecy nash: Which category would you like to play next?
Lis burns: You know what, niecy? The 90s.
I don't care what they say. That was the peak of music.
I would love to do the 90s.
Niecy nash: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"closing time" by semisonic or "lovefool" by the cardigans.
Lis burns: Oh my goodness,
I'm cracking up because for some reason
The song "lovefool" has been in my head for, like, three weeks
And I love it (laughs).
Thank you, lord! (laughs) I would love to do "lovefool".
Niecy nash: All right, let's do it.
For this song and $5,000,
I am going to need four missing words.
And we'll start the song at the first chorus.
Lis burns: Got it. Niecy nash: Are you ready?
Lis burns: I think so, niecy. Let's do it.
Niecy nash: Let's do it, ricky.
(audience cheering)
("lovefool" by the cardigans)
♪ love me, love me, say that you love me ♪
♪ fool me, fool me, go on and fool me ♪
♪ love me, love me, pretend that you love me ♪
♪ leave me, leave me, just say that you need me ♪
(audience cheering)
Good job.
All right, the cardigans said,
"leave me, leave me, just say...
You said, "that you need me".
How confident are you in this answer?
Lis burns: Pretty confident.
Niecy nash: Do you want to lock in those lyrics?
(tense music)
Lis burns: Yeah. Niecy, I want to lock in those lyrics!
Niecy nash: All right, you locked in those lyrics, lis.
For $5,000, is it that you need me?
(drum roll)
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Three weeks in your head paid off. That is $5,000.
Tara: Woohoo! (laughs)
Niecy nash: Let's keep it moving.
Pick your next category.
Lis burns: Niecy, I think I'm going to go
With one-hit wonders.
Because they deserve more than that one time in the sun.
(laughs) let's give them more love here today.
Niecy nash: All right.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"walking on sunshine" by katrina and the waves,
Or "just a friend" by biz markie.
Lis burns: Oh my goodness.
Biz rhymes with lis, I want to choose that,
But let's do "walking on sunshine".
Niecy nash: Ok.
For $10,000,
I am going to be looking for four missing words.
Lis burns: Let's do it. Niecy nash: Ricky, hit it.
("walking on sunshine" by katrina and the waves)
♪ ooh yeah
♪ I used to think maybe you loved me ♪
♪ now, baby, I'm sure
♪ and I just can't wait till the day ♪
♪ when you knock on my door

(audience cheering)
Tara: Woohoo!
Niecy nash: All right, lis, let's take a look.
Katrina and the waves said, "I'm walking on sunshine, whoa".
And you said, "don't it feel good".
Lis burns: It does feel good.
Niecy nash: Are you feeling good about these lyrics?
Lis burns: I really am, I think my yellow shirt,
I'm walking on sunshine.
Niecy, I feel good about don't it feel good.
Let's lock in those lyrics!
Niecy nash: All right, lis, you locked in those lyrics.
For $10,000, is it don't it feel good?
(drum roll)
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
(lis laughs)
You got it right. That is $10,000.
Lis is going for a guaranteed $25,000 when we come back
On "don't forget the lyrics".
Narrator: Coming up.
Lis burns: This does not feel real! Is this real?
Narrator: Our pastor lis has been blessed early on.
(lis screams)
But with a guaranteed $25,000 at stake...
Lis burns: Wow, this is crazy.
Narrator: The game gets much harder.
Niecy nash: I am going to need 12 missing words.
Lis burns: Wow. (laughs) ok.
Narrator: And it may take a miracle to save her.
Niecy nash: Did that help you at all?
Lis burns: No.
Narrator: When "don't forget the lyrics" returns.
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Niecy nash: Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
So far, lis has made it through three songs
And banked $10,000.
But now the game is about to get harder.
(tense music)
There are six categories left.
Wedding songs, country, rock, oldies, queen, or funk.
If she gets in trouble, she still has all of her backups.
This next song is worth $25,000 guaranteed money.
(audience cheering)
Talk to me, lis, what would you do with $25,000?
Lis burns: I drive a mom van (laughs).
I actually named her van-essa
And I've been in her for eight years
And my kids are getting older.
I don't feel like I need her anymore,
So maybe I'll get out the mom van.
Niecy nash: I can get with that.
Lis burns: Yeah.
Niecy nash: Which category is going to get you
The car of your dreams?
Lis burns: Niecy, I love love.
My husband and I have been married 18 years.
Something you don't know about me is I'm a cancer survivor.
My husband and I were married six months when I got cancer.
We said, "in sickness and in health". And he said, "yes".
And he was my rock.
Shout out to jason, he's the best husband.
Niecy nash: Hey, jason! Lis burns: Yeah! (laughs)
So I would love to do a wedding song
And hopefully bring $25,000 home for him.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"you're the first, the last, my everything" by barry white,
Or "thinking out loud" by ed sheeran.
Lis burns: Oh, these are beautiful.
I mean, barry white's, like, an icon,
But I think I'm going to do "thinking out loud" by ed sheeran.
What a beautiful song.
Niecy nash: Ok, for $25,000 guaranteed,
I'm going to need four missing words.
We'll start the song before the first chorus.
Lis burns: Ok, ok. Niecy nash: Are you ready?
Lis burns: Yes, ma'am. I'm going to do my best.
Niecy nash: She's ready to do her best, ricky.
(audience cheering)
("thinking out loud" by ed sheeran)
♪ so honey, now
♪ take me into your lovin' arms ♪
♪ kiss me under the light of a thousand stars ♪
♪ place your head on my beating heart ♪
♪ I'm thinking out loud
♪ and maybe we found love right where we are ♪
(audience cheering)
You did a great job.
(tara applauds and laughs)
All right, lis. Song was dedicated to your husband.
Ed sheeran said, "and maybe we found love"...
You said, "right where we are".
How are you feeling about this answer?
Lis burns: I feel really good about this, niecy.
Maybe we found love right where we are.
I'm ready to lock in those lyrics!
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Niecy nash: You locked in the lyrics.
For $25,000 guaranteed... Lis burns: Oh my gosh.
Niecy nash: Is it right where we are?
(drum roll)
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
You did it!
That is $25,000 guaranteed,
No matter what happens in the game.
How are you feeling right now?
Lis burns: So grateful for this moment.
I mean, I was cancer survivor, so every day is a gift.
And today is a special gift.
Niecy nash: I know that's right.
And you just got your hot rod, girl!
(lis screams) (tara laughs)
Now, miss lis, we are playing for $50,000!
(lis cheers) (audience cheering)
Which category is going to get you that bag of cash?
Lis burns: Ok, I used to sing in theme parks
When I was in college
And we used to sing a lot of oldies music.
So let's do oldies. Niecy nash: Ok.
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"the loco-motion" by little eva
Or "hound dog" by elvis presley.
(lis laughs) (audience shouting)
Are you familiar with either of these songs?
Lis burns: I'm familiar with both, but believe it or not,
I kind of think I might be more familiar
With "the loco-motion".
I think we should try to do "the loco-motion"
And maybe dance a little bit.
Ok. Niecy nash: Let's do it.
And I'm just going to say,
Maybe we could use a little bit of help up here.
Lis burns: Ok.
Niecy nash: Just to give us some energy.
These two cutie pies right here at that table,
Can you come up here?
All right. Come right here.
(audience cheering)
All right.
Our job is to shake a tail feather in encouragement.
(lis laughs)
Your job is six missing words from this song.
Lis burns: Ok. Niecy nash: We will start it
From the top. Lis burns: Ok.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Backup dancers, you ready? Dancer: Yeah.
Niecy nash: Lis, are you ready?
Lis burns: I'm ready!
Niecy nash: Ricky, are you ready?
Ricky: I'm ready. Niecy nash: Hit it!
("the loco-motion" by little eva)

♪ come on, baby, do the loco-motion ♪
♪ I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now ♪

(audience cheering)
Thank you, ladies. Thank you so much.
Lis burns: Yeah!
Niecy nash: Give them a hand.
All right, you had us wiggling around back there
For a little encouragement.
And here's what you came up with.
Little eva said, "jump up, jump back, well"...
You said, "if you think you got the".
Lis burns: Ok, I do think it's probably time
To use a backup, niecy.
Niecy nash: Ok, let me talk you through your options.
Your first backup is your backup singer.
Lis burns: Yes. Niecy nash: Who did you
Bring with you today?
Lis burns: Today, I brought my amazing,
Incredible friend, tara.
If you believe in love at first sight,
This was friendship at first sight 16 years ago.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Well, tara can help you out with the answer,
But only on one song, or you have three words.
If at any time you are unsure about a word,
Just tell us which word it is
And we will reveal the correct answer.
Lis burns: Ok. Niecy nash: You can use
Your three words all at once
Or you can spread them out across the game.
Lis burns: Ok. Niecy nash: Would you like
To use one of your backups now?
Lis burns: Yes, please. Niecy nash: Ok.
Lis burns: I think I would like to actually go
With word one because I'm thinking that's the phrase,
But if not, that will kind of tell me
If I was going in the right way.
Niecy nash: Please reveal the correct word
For line number one.
Lis burns: Ooh.
(tense music)
Narrator: Coming up,
$50,000 is riding on lis's next answer.
Lis burns: I'm 80% there.
Narrator: But in this game,
One wrong word will end it all.
Lis burns: Niecy, it's too much uncertainty, I think.
Narrator: Will she find a way to keep moving
Towards the million dollars?
Lis burns: Ooh, buddy. This is crazy.
Narrator: Or could this be the end?
Niecy nash: Oh. Narrator: Find out, next.
(air whooshes)
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Niecy nash: Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
We are here with lis,
Who is in the middle of an incredible game,
And we're going to jump right back into it.
Little eva said, "jump up, jump back, well"...
You said, "I you think you got the".
Lis burns: I'm glad we didn't lock that in.
♪ jump up, jump back
♪ well, I
You know what, it could be...
Can I try to see up there,
Well, I think you got the knack.
Niecy nash: I think you got the knack.
♪ jump up, jump back
♪ well, I think you got the knack ♪
Lis burns: Ok, I'm 80% there.
I would just like to use one more word
And then I will be more confident.
And it's word two please.
Niecy nash: That was correct.
Lis burns: Ok, ok, ok.
Niecy, that makes me pretty confident.
Niecy nash: Would you like to lock in those lyrics?
Lis burns: (laughs) this is crazy,
But I do think I want to lock in those lyrics!
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Niecy nash: All right, lis,
You've locked in those lyrics.
Lis burns: Yeah.
Niecy nash: For $50,000,
Is it I think you got the knack?
(drum roll)
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
(tara cheers)
You just banked $50,000.
(audience cheering)
There are just four categories left
To the million dollar song.
Let's keep it moving. This next song is worth $75,000.
What category is going to get us there?
Lis burns: You wouldn't know it from looking at me
'cause I don't scream rock, but I think it's time to rock.
Niecy nash: All right, now let's take a look
At your two song choices.
Lis burns: Ooh buddy. (laughs)
Niecy nash: "jack and diane" by john mellencamp
Or "love shack" by the b-52s.
Lis burns: (laughs) oh man,
These are both great songs by incredible artists.
But how can you not pick "love shack"?
You just want to dance.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: So for $75,000,
I am going to need eight missing words.
Lis burns: Woo, ok, that's a lot of words.
Niecy nash: We will start the song from the top.
Lis burns: Ok. Niecy nash: Are you ready?
Lis burns: Yes.
Niecy nash: Let's do it. Lis burns: Ok.
("love shack" by the b-52s)
♪ if you see a faded sign at the side of the road ♪
♪ that says 15 miles to the love shack ♪
♪ love shack, yeah, yeah
♪ I got me a car, it's as big as a whale ♪
♪ and we're headin' on down to the love shack ♪
♪ got me a chrysler, it seats about twenty ♪
♪ so hurry up and bring your jukebox money ♪
♪ the love shack is a little old place ♪
♪ where we can get together
♪ love shack, baby
Niecy nash: That's a great job. All right.
B-52s said, "so hurry up and bring your jukebox money.
The love shack is a"...
You said, "little old place where we can get together".
How are you feeling about this answer?
Lis burns: Good (laughs). Like a b-plus.
I think I would like to maybe use my final word, niecy.
Niecy nash: Ok.
Lis burns: And I think I would like to choose word two.
Niecy nash: Please reveal the correct word
For line number two.
(tense music)
That was correct.
Lis burns: Ok.
Niecy nash: Has that given you a little more confidence?
Lis burns: I think so.
Niecy nash: If you are right, it's $75,000.
If you are wrong, you drop down to $25,000.
Lis burns: Yes.
You know what? Let's lock in the lyrics!
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Niecy nash: All right, you locked in those lyrics.
Lis burns: I did? I'm just kidding.
Niecy nash: For $75,000,
Is it little old place where we can get together?
(drum roll)
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
You did that.
That is $75,000.
How are you feeling?
Lis burns: This does not feel real! Is this real?
Niecy nash: It is so real. Lis burns: I feel great!
Niecy nash: There are just three categories left.
We are about to play for $100,000.
(audience cheering)
Now, lis, $100,000 is life-changing money.
How would things change for you?
Lis burns: My dad is currently going through...
Sorry, my dad is currently going through cancer
And I would love to be able to help him financially
So that he doesn't have to worry about medical bills.
Because all my life they supported and raised me
And it would be my greatest joy and honour
To be able to bring this back and help them,
Say, "dad, just get better, don't worry about the bills".
Niecy nash: All right.
We got to pay some bills for daddy.
Which category is going to get you that 100 grand?
Country, queen, or funk?
(lis laughs) (audience shouting)
Lis burns: All right,
I think it's time to bring in queen.
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: All right,
Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"another one bites the dust" or "you're my best friend".
Lis burns: Oh, two such good songs.
Ok, I think I'm going to do "you're my best friend"
Because what a sweet song (laughs).
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: For $100,000, lis,
I am going to need eight missing words.
Lis burns: Wow. Ok.
Niecy nash: And we will take the song from the top.
Lis burns: Ok, ok.
Niecy nash: Ricky, hit it.

(audience cheering)
Great job!
All right, lis.
Queen said, "oh, you're the best friend that I ever had".
You said, "I've been with you such a long time".
Lis burns: Yeah.
Niecy nash: How confident are you in this answer?
Lis burns: Pretty confident. This is crazy.
Niecy nash: If you are right...
Lis burns: Oh my gosh. Niecy nash: It's $100,000.
(audience cheering)
But if you are wrong, you drop down to $25,000.
Lis burns: Yeah. Which is still a lot of money.
(lis and tara laugh)
I think I'm ready to lock in those lyrics!
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Niecy nash: Lis, you locked in those lyrics.
Lis burns: Yeah.
Niecy nash: For $100,000,
Is it I've been with you such a long time?
(drum roll)
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
You did it!
$100,000!
(crowd chanting)
(tara cheers)
(niecy laughs)
Lis burns: What?!
Niecy nash: How are you feeling right now?
Lis burns: I feel incredible. I feel grateful.
I feel, I don't know,
Like I'm floating around watching somebody else's life.
Niecy nash: All right. Lis burns: Is this my life?
Niecy nash: Well, you got a hot rod coming,
You got medical bills being paid for your father
And we are going to play for $150,000 right after this.
(lis screams)
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
We are here with lis, who is having an incredible night.
So far she has banked $100,000.
Lis burns: What?!
Niecy nash: But once again,
The game is about to get harder.
(tense music)
There are only two categories left
And she still has her backup singer, tara.
Right now we are going to play for $150,000.
Lis burns: What?!
(tara laughs)
You're talking about real dollars, right?
Niecy nash: Oh, absolutely. No pretend money, honey.
Are you ready to keep the party going?
Lis burns: We have to. Niecy nash: All right.
This song is going to be worth $150,000.
Do you want to play for country or funk?
(lis laughs)
Lis burns: You know what, I'm feeling so giddy, so happy.
I feel funky.
I feel like we have to keep it funky. Keep it fresh.
Niecy nash: Let's take a look at your two song choices.
"uptown funk!" by mark ronson featuring bruno mars
Or "shining star", earth, wind and fire.
Lis burns: Oh my goodness.
Of course earth, wind and fire is an iconic group,
But when I hear bruno mars,
I feel like he is just the whole package.
He sings, he dances. He's such an incredible entertainer.
You cannot hear a bruno mars song and not dance.
Let's do "uptown funk!"
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: All right.
For $150,000, I am going to need 12 missing words.
Lis burns: Wow. Ok. (laughs)
Niecy nash: We will start the song, lis,
At the first verse.
Lis burns: Ok, let's do it.
Niecy nash: Let's do it, ricky.
Tara: Let's go, lis!

(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Niecy nash: All right, you locked in those lyrics, lis.
Niecy nash: For $150,000... Lis burns: What?!
Niecy nash: Is it Saturday night and we in the spot,
Don't believe me, just watch?
(drum roll)
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
That is $150,000! Lis burns: What?! (screams)
(audience cheering)
(lis screams)
Niecy nash: Listen.
(audience cheering)
Take a look at that money ladder.
$250,000 is next.
Lis burns: What?! (laughs)
(crowd chanting)
Niecy nash: This is crazy.
When we come back,
Lis is playing for a quarter of a million dollars right here
On "don't forget the lyrics".
(air whooshes) (upbeat music)
(audience cheering)
Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
This is shaping up to be an historic night.
Lis has banked $150,000.
Lis burns: What?! Niecy nash: And she still
Has her backup singer, tara.
There is just one category left
And it is worth a quarter of $1 million.
(audience cheering)
What would $250,000 mean to you?
Lis burns: It would mean so much.
We've already gotten the hot rod, like you said,
We already have been able to help my dad.
And with everything we're doing at the church...
You know, when I got sick, our philosophy really changed.
We don't want people just to come on Sunday
And we preach at 'em and they go home.
What if they're hungry? You know, we want to feed people.
We want to take care of people,
Help meet their practical needs.
Niecy nash: I love to hear it.
Lis burns: Yeah.
Niecy nash: That's the difference between the saints
And the aints.
All right.
(lis laughs)
Are you ready to play for this last category?
All you have left is country.
Lis burns: Yes. Niecy nash: Now,
Why did you leave country for your last category?
Lis burns: I am from florida, I'm from the south,
So I hear a lot of country.
I'm hopeful. Maybe it's going to be a song I know.
Niecy nash: Well, let's check out
What your two song choices are.
Lis burns: Ok.
Niecy nash: "you're still the one" by shania twain
Or "wagon wheel" by darius rucker.
Lis burns: Wow. Shania twain is a legend.
I mean, what a voice.
She looks amazing. She sounds amazing.
I have got to go with this beautiful love song,
"you're still the one".
Niecy nash: All right, this song is for $250,000.
We are going to need 10 missing words.
Lis burns: Ok. Niecy nash: We will start
The song at the first chorus.
Lis burns: Ok.
Niecy nash: Are you ready?
Lis burns: Yes, ma'am. As ready as I'll ever be.
Niecy nash: Ricky, hit it.

(tense music)
All right, shania twain said,
"we beat the odds together, I'm glad"...
You said, "we made it.
Look how far we've come, my baby".
(lis laughs)
How confident are you in this lyric?
Lis burns: 49%.
Niecy nash: Hm.
Here's the thing, you have tara sitting right over there.
Lis burns: Yes. Niecy nash: Perhaps,
If you call her up here,
We could get you to 100% in your confidence level.
Lis burns: Yeah.
I think it's time to do it. Let's bring up my girl.
Niecy nash: Tara, come on up.
Lis burns: Yeah!
Tara: Hi, friend. Ooh!
Niecy nash: Tara. Tara: Hi.
Niecy nash: You sat over there so long.
I didn't know if I was ever going to get
To meet you. Tara: I know.
Niecy nash: Welcome. Tara: Thank you.
Niecy nash: You cannot help her
For the million dollar song,
So I'm happy to see you now.
How are you feeling about what's on the board right now?
Tara: Well, I feel like eighth grade tara
Would've known this immediately.
Far from eighth grade tara, so a little uncertain
Because I haven't heard this song in a long time,
But I feel like we can maybe talk it out
And see if we can get more comfortable.
Lis burns: Yeah, I'm worried that I'm confusing
The first verse with the second verse.
Is it ok if we sang it together?
Niecy nash: I would love that.
(audience cheering) (lis and tara laugh)
Ladies and gentlemen, finally taking the stage tonight...
(all laugh)
Lis and tara.
Ricky, you know what to do.

Niecy nash: All right.
Together, you both sang, "we made it.
Look how far we've come, my baby".
Lis burns: Yeah. Niecy nash: Tara,
Are you any more confident about this lyric?
Tara: It felt a lot better singing it.
Lis burns: But did you just think that cause I said it?
Did I plant that seed?
Tara: Maybe.
(lis and audience laugh)
Niecy nash: What I'm going to say right now is, tara,
Thank you so much for coming up
And helping her. Tara: Love you.
Niecy nash: Now it's all on you.
Narrator: Coming up, lis has a chance to win $250,000.
Lis burns: It's so much money, niecy.
Narrator: But she's going to need some divine intervention.
Lis burns: (laughs) this is crazy.
Narrator: She's one correct answer away
From the million dollar song.
Lis burns: Yeah. Narrator: Can she do it?
Lis burns: I, I...
Narrator: Find out, next.
(air whooshes)
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
Niecy nash: Welcome back to "don't forget the lyrics".
The spirit has moved lis to $150,000.
Right now we are playing for a quarter of $1 million.
In case you're not sure, let me just go over...
Lis burns: Ok.
Niecy nash: Cause this is a big deal.
(tense music)
You can lock in these lyrics.
If you are right, you will be one step closer to $1 million.
Lis burns: Yeah.
Niecy nash: If you are wrong,
You will drop all the way down to your guaranteed $25,000.
Or you can take a bow
And walk away with $150,000 that you've already banked.
What are you going to do?
(tense music)
Lis burns: Niecy, it's too much uncertainty, I think.
I'm going to be devastated if this is the lyrics,
But at the same time I think it's time for me to bow out
With the most insane gratitude!
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: All right,
You are walking away with $150,000.
(audience cheering)
Please take a bow.
Lis burns: Yes, thank you!
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: Let's take a look
And see what the correct answer is.
Lis burns: Woo!
(audience cheering)
Niecy nash: We didn't listen.
Look at what we would be missin'.
You made the right decision!
(audience cheering) (lis laughs)
Congratulations! You're going home with $150,000!
(lis screams)
Let's hear it for lis.
(lis screams)
Next time, more singers, more songs, more words
And $1 million on "don't forget the lyrics".
Good night.
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
(lis cheers)
Yeah!
Lis burns: Eh!
(audience cheering) (upbeat music)
