| Somewhere on a show I heard | |
| That a picture tells a thousand words, | |
| So telly, if you bothered to take a look, | |
| Is the equivalent, of like, lots of books! | |
| All I know I learned from telly, | |
| This big beautiful box of facts. | |
| If you know a thing already, | |
| Baby, you can switch the channel over just like that. | |
| Endless joy and endless laughter... | |
| Folks living happily ever after... | |
| All you need to make you wise | |
| Is 23 minutes plus advertisements. | |
| Why would we waste our energy? | |
| Turning the pages 1, 2, 3, | |
| When we can sit comfortably | |
| On our lovely bumferlies, | |
| Watching people singing and talking and doing stuff?! | |
| All I know I learned from telly. | |
| The bigger the telly, the smarter the man! | |
| You can tell from my big telly, | |
| Just what a clever fella I am! | |
| Take it away, son. | |
| You can't learn that from a stupid book. | |
| All I know I learned from telly - | |
| What to think and what to buy. | |
| I was pretty smart already, | |
| But now I'm really, really smart - very very smart. | |
| Endless content, endless channels... | |
| Endless chat on endless panels... | |
| All you need to fill your muffin, | |
| Without having to really think or nothing! | |
| Why would we waste our energy, | |
| Trying to work out Ulysses, | |
| When we can sit happily | |
| On our lovely bapperlies | |
| Watching slightly famous people, | |
| Talking to really famous people? | |
| Who the dickens is Charles Dickens? | |
| Mary Shelly? Gosh, she sounds smelly. | |
| Harry Potter? What a rotter... | |
| Jane Austen in the compost bin... | |
| James Joyce doesn't sound nice. | |
| Ian McEwen? Ugh, I feel like spewin'. | |
| William Shakespeare? Swilliam Shmakespeare... | |
| Moby Dick – easy Grandma! | |
| All together now! | |
| Thank you very much! |
