You keep saying I watch too much TV

And my brain will soon disintegrate

Well, I've known kids who've been deprived of TV

And they're the ones who can't seem to relate

This TV is made for watchin'

And that's just what I'll do

One of these days TV is gonna take over you



Gilligan's Island exposed me to Hamlet

Neither a borrower nor a lender be

I've learned about identical cousins

And that Green Acres is the place to be

This TV is made for watchin'

And that's just what I'll do

One of these days this TV is gonna need a brand new tube



Don't do the crime if you can't do the time

Come and play, everything's a-okay

What do you do when you're branded and know you're a man?

You wanna go where everyone knows your name

This TV is made for watchin'

And by god that's what I'll do

One of these days this dude is gonna get that bubblin' crude

Oil, that is, black gold, texas tea
