LYRICS:
Straight from your house, we’re LIVE!
in COLOR! with our own in-studio audience, just the way it oughta be
and the folks at home, the real star of the show
you keep our ratings high, [and our overhead low!]

hey there, Doctor Tennaville, what’s the prescription?
every prize our cadoos and cadettes could be winning?
it’s a brand new car! a plush toy of your friend, and some floral bath curtains
[can’t get that from an egg!]

Hey Mike! hit the lights, show ‘em all the grand prize
that your groovy never glooby mediator of the movie
so benevolently rendered for your ever-entertainment
to obtain it, all you gotta do is play play play!

so let me be your TV guide, and keep providing,
all your time undivided
every hour on the hour, ‘nother show to be devoured, keep you hooked with all the power that the censor will allow

that’s not all! it’s time for our feature presentation!
grab a snack, grab a soda, cause you need to stay awake
a little longer, need your help to keep the ratings stronger
are you having fun yet? just sing along now

[I]
can’t hear you, say a little louder
[love]
that’s right, just don’t stop those smiles!
[TV]
that’s the magic word!
i tell you, i could hear that 99 more times

Sit right down and stay for a while
now don’t you dare touch that dial
We’re broadcasting live to you,
it’s all for you, the idiot box is back in style

Each game and show is action packed
just play along with the laugh track
stick around for the marathon
don’t go nowhere, cause we’ll be right back

but wait there’s more! come back! why spend your time scrolling
there’s a world of fun to get to know on your remote controller
social media’s greedy, and wikipedia’s seedy
just grab a friend and PBS and you can learn on your TV!

there’s game shows, quiz shows, shows for no reason!
while your streamers leave you hanging cancel after just a season
let me help you fall asleep with your favorite programs
wakin’ up with infomercials 3 o’clock in the AM

call now! i’m making a one time deal today
you better act now, the offer’s going away
we’ve got QVC! why shop online?
like this kitchen sink fur guard, cryin’ for a buyin’

never buffer, never suffer another meme from your mother
of the little yellow fellows interrupting your comfort
this media is curated, it’s safe and TV-G rated
thinking twice if you imply that a device could replace it

i’m man’s best friend! i’m better than email!
just bask in the cathode glow
detail’s overrated, who needs widescreen? HD?
You can see it all in 4 by 3


Sit right down and stay for a while
now don’t you dare touch that dial
We’re broadcasting live to you,
it’s all for you, the idiot box is back in style

Each game and show is action packed
just play along with the laugh track
stick around for the marathon
don’t go nowhere,

And now a word from our sponsor

*YOU’VE. GOT. MAIL. AHAHAHA.
Tenna! Buddy! Maybe take a shave because you’re -
Getting fuzzy! Bet that telethon aint making-
Any money! Do they get reception in the-
Cemetery? [ASK ABOUT OUR RETIREMENT PLANS]

You’re like a TV dinner! [not consumed]
Maybe if you checked the Mike you’d see the dot com boom
Descending into frame - ending of an age - refreshing the page
Betting on the elderly [does not compute]

Take aim! Rotting the brainwaves for payday!
Mayday! Sure it was great in your heyday
Waylaid – now the domain’s mine to lay claim
[OHH, BUT LET’S HAVE A LOOK AT WHAT YOU COULD HAVE WON!]

You gotta face reality [TV] - all the kids are in the queue for my VC
Caught up in the net – [YOUR TEARS ARE STREAMING]
Netflix & [CHILDREN’S ENTERTAINMENT] [NOT ANOTHER COCOMELON]*

Whoa mama, what the heck is that thing?
just a rat in the net, washed up, has-been?
stay away from our prize, we’ve made it this far
everything’s going perfectly, …what was that in the dark?

…eh, it’s probably nothing.

Sit right down and stay for a while
now don’t you dare touch that dial
We’re broadcasting live to you,
it’s all for you, the idiot box is back in style

Each game and show is action packed
just play along with the laugh track
stick around for the marathon
don’t go nowhere, cause we’ll be right back

so stay and believe in the TV
you’re already seated, enjoying the show
so promise that you’ll never leave me
forgotten again, I don’t want you to go
