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
