If you wanna have fun come home with me

You can stay all night and play with my TV

TV is the thing this year, this year

TV is the thing this year

Radio was great, now it's out of date

TV is the thing this year



Last night I was watching old Tom Nix

My TV broke, I was in a fix

I Got on the phone, and called my man,

Said get here daddy as fast as you can

TV is the thing this year, oh

TV is the thing this year,

Radio was great, but now it's out of date

and TV is the thing this year



Now he turned my dial to channel one

I knew that this was gonna be fun

He turned my dial to channel two

That station thrilled me through and through

He moved one notch to channel three

I said oh how I love what you're doin' to me

He said, wait a minute, let's try channel four

Just about that time someone knocked on the door

TV is the thing this year, oh yes

TV is the thing this year,

Radio was great, now it's out of date

TV is the thing this year



The way he eased into channel five

That man musta had fluid drive

He moved once more to channel six

Then he opened up his bag of tricks

On channel seven the show was late

But we got our kicks on channel eight

He turned my dial to channel nine

Said Baby, your set is workin' fine

He moved on up to channel ten

Then we started all over again

He finally hit channel eleven

I cried mama, he treats your daughter so good!

TV is the thing this year, yes

TV is the thing this year

Yes radio was great, but now it's out of date

TV is the thing this year



Baby my set will need fixin' just about this time every night!
