Watchin' The TV News - Clifford T. Ward[00:00:00]
I don't read those fancy newspapers[00:00:22]
I don't care for the print on my fingers[00:00:28]
I can't take that slanted press[00:00:33]
An' you know how the smell of the paper lingers.[00:00:37]
But the TV news, what a wonderful innovation[00:00:43]
Well it's where it's at, tea on my lap[00:00:53]
Soakin' it up, lappin' it up.[00:00:58]
I don't watch much television[00:01:04]
Maybe 'The Street' and 'Blankety Blank'[00:01:09]
I don't play any of those crazy ball games[00:01:15]
Where's the sense in sweatin' no thanks.[00:01:20]
But my TV news, it's a marvellous presentation[00:01:25]
Perfect end to the day, tea on a tray[00:01:35]
An' we never get upset.[00:01:40]
The fightin' and the bombin' and the bloodshed[00:01:46]
An' all the starvin' children round the world[00:01:51]
The aeroplanes crashin', and the earthquakes[00:01:56]
Right before my eyes they're all unfurled.[00:02:01]
I don't listen to the radio[00:02:07]
Well maybe just Wogan's breakfast wit and[00:02:12]
Don't give me any of those crazy ball games[00:02:17]
Where's the sense in keeping fit?[00:02:23]
But the TV news, won't you give me that confrontation[00:02:27]
Nothin' I prefer than my tea down my shirt[00:02:38]
Soakin' it up, shruggin' it off.[00:02:43]
The fightin' an' the bombin' an' the bloodshed[00:02:49]
An' all the crazy despots round the world[00:02:54]
Murders, an' the scandal an' the heartache[00:02:59]
Right inside my lounge they're all unfurled.[00:03:04]
On my TV news[00:03:08]
What a colourful presentation[00:03:14]
You' got the blood and the thunder[00:03:20]
The world goin' under,[00:03:22]
It's all there to see[00:03:25]
All on the TV news.[00:03:28]
What an' honest interpretation[00:03:35]
Straight as a die, the cameras don't lie[00:03:41]
It's all there to see[00:03:46]
All on the TV news.[00:03:49]
