Loose Women is a British lunchtime television programme, first broadcast in 1999 on ITV. It consists of a panel of four women who interview celebrities and discuss topical issues, ranging from daily politics and current affairs, to celebrity gossip. Each series typically airs from the beginning of September of one year to the start of August of the next, while also taking a break over Christmas.
Due to a decline in ratings between January and June 2011, changes were made to the show upon the launch of its sixteenth series that September. Changes included a new lineup: anchor Kate Thornton and panellists Zoe Tyler and Coleen Nolan left the show, while new presenter Carol Vorderman and panellist Sally Lindsay both started on the programme.
The panel comprises four women from various professions in the entertainment and journalism industries, including actresses, singers, authors, presenters, journalists and reporters. Although all four women are classed as presenters in the credits, one acts as the main anchor, linking to breaks and competitions and addressing the television audience.

Would you work for a reason, lazyman?
Do your thoughts have expression, lazyman?
Does life pass you by while you don't even try?
To grab hold of a minute and use all the time that's in it, lazyman
What's your latest excuse lazyman?
Is your neck botherin' you, lazyman?
You're content to rely on the talented guy
Then you make a short edit and take all of the credit for the song
Lazyman, you really bring me down
Lazyman, how can you lie around?
Won't you stop what you're doing
And start doing something, lazyman?
Is your ass getting sore, lazyman
Sitting there on the floor, lazyman?
At least write down your feeling though it may not be appealing
The way you say it might be worth the time, you never know
Lazyman, you really bring me down
Lazyman, how can you lie around?
Won't you stop what you're doing
It's not that I don't love you, you know how much I do
It's not that I'm afraid at all, or that I'm feeling blue
I'm not angry I'm not sick, there's nothing wrong me
You must understand my love I'm lazy, lazy as can be
I'm a lazy, lazy man I stay as lazy as I can
Heaven to me is watching Jeopardy! with my feet up on your upholstery
Waking up and working are two kinds of hell
Loafing is a sacred vow
If you're watching you might be able to tell, I'm rolling over now
Go ahead, take a walk if you like
Play some tennis, water plants, ride your bike
I'll be here inanimate, idle, pardon me if I appear suicidal
Oh I lay my head on a hard loaf of bread wake me when the meal is through
Breakfast in bed would be better instead, if I only didn't have to chew
I'm a lazy, lazy man I stay as lazy as I can
Heaven to me is watching Jeopardy! with my feet up on your upholstery
Waking up and working are two kinds of hell
Loafing is a sacred vow
If you're watching you might be able to tell, I'm rolling over now

Lazy Moon come out soon
Make my poor heart beat warmer
Light the way bright as day
For my sweet little charmer
She's to meet me in the lane tonight
If the sky is bright and clear
Oh moon don't keep me waiting here tonight
Watching and awaiting
Heart a palpitatin'
Longing for my lady love so dear
Lazy Moon, Lazy Moon
Why don't you show your face above the hill
Lazy Moon, Lazy Moon
You can make me happy if you will
When my lady sees your light a peepin'
then I know her promise she'll be keepin'
Woke up this morning, lying in bed.
That lazy woman, still buzzed in my head.
Why did she leave me, why did she go away,
Without her here, I'm gonna go insane,
Oh lazy woman, you are my night and my day,
Oh lazy woman.
I tried to give her all that I could,
But all she wanted, was my life blood,
She drained me dry, she took my very soul
And now she's gone, life's just an empty hole,
Here come the razor into the darkness I fall
Oh lazy woman
Now it's all over she won't come home,
I killed myself for her, now I'm so alone
I know that she won't cry, she doesn't feel any pain
Why did she let me die, I'll never live again,
It's all a joke to her, just some stupid game,
It's not that I don't love you, you know how much I do
It's not that I'm afraid at all, or that I'm feeling blue
I'm not angry I'm not sick, there's nothing wrong me
You must understand my love I'm lazy, lazy as can be
I'm a lazy, lazy man I stay as lazy as I can
Heaven to me is watching Jeopardy! with my feet up on your upholstery
Waking up and working are two kinds of hell
Loafing is a sacred vow
If you're watching you might be able to tell, I'm rolling over now
Go ahead, take a walk if you like
Play some tennis, water plants, ride your bike
I'll be here inanimate, idle, pardon me if I appear suicidal
Oh I lay my head on a hard loaf of bread wake me when the meal is through
Breakfast in bed would be better instead, if I only didn't have to chew
I'm a lazy, lazy man I stay as lazy as I can
Heaven to me is watching Jeopardy! with my feet up on your upholstery
Waking up and working are two kinds of hell
Loafing is a sacred vow
