Every morning when I wake up Just before I have my first cup Reach for my friend Mr. Television Always with me when I'm alone Let's me know what is going on His one big eye gives me life
I don't need nobody When nobody needs me You live your life this way Me t. V Ah-ah-ah
And at night when the Sun goes down And there's nobody else around I got someone who won't talk back People worry about my style Only see them once in a while Maybe my mind's going blind
TV, TV, uh TV, TV, uh
It controls the life around us The medium of the times It's my radio with a picture I got my t. V., I got my t. V It's the governant of the culture The chairman of the board An electronic vulture I got video, I got video
