YOU GET A LITTLE EXTRA WHEN YOU WATCH T.V.
Chorus: You get a little extra when you watch T.V.
Ain’t that ducky! Well you’re lucky if you see that
You get a little extra when you watch T.V.!
You sit too close and you get a big surprise
Lots of radiation in your body and your eyes
Your eardrums hum when someone turns it up too high,
When you watch T.V.!
We learn lots about our bodies and our aches and pains,
Headaches, hemorrhoids, heartburn, diarrhea, denture stains
Gotta buy more drugs t’stop your stresses and your strains
When you watch T.V. !
Chorus
When someone in an advertisement tells me lies
I jump up and switch the channels, and I get some exercise
So my body’s getting healthy and my mind is getting wise
When I watch T.V.!
Daddies only love the Mommies when the dirt’s all gone
From their shirts and shiny floors, the coffee has t’be right on,
I’m so glad my Dad’s not fussy, 'cause he’d leave my Mom,
If he watched T.V.!
Chorus
In real life it never works when people go
And hit and kick and punch and smash each other’s heads and toes
But it always solves the problems on the cartoon shows
When you watch T.V.!
Last night on the highway when our car got stalled
We saw a bloody accident with bodies that were mauled
Though my folks got sick, it didn’t bother me at all.
Cause I watch T.V.!
Chorus
If you think that I am lazy, don’t you call me names
I have learned important skills from playing video games
If a spaceship should attack us I could shoot 'em down in flames,
Cause I watch T.V.!
And a big T.V. can really give you quite a rest
If you get one near your bed, you’ve got no reason to get dressed
You never have to talk to anyone, your life is a success
When you watch T.V.!
Chorus
