[00:00:00] Watchin' The TV News - Clifford T. Ward

[00:00:22] I don't read those fancy newspapers

[00:00:28] I don't care for the print on my fingers

[00:00:33] I can't take that slanted press

[00:00:37] An' you know how the smell of the paper lingers.

[00:00:43] But the TV news, what a wonderful innovation

[00:00:53] Well it's where it's at, tea on my lap

[00:00:58] Soakin' it up, lappin' it up.

[00:01:04] I don't watch much television

[00:01:09] Maybe 'The Street' and 'Blankety Blank'

[00:01:15] I don't play any of those crazy ball games

[00:01:20] Where's the sense in sweatin' no thanks.

[00:01:25] But my TV news, it's a marvellous presentation

[00:01:35] Perfect end to the day, tea on a tray

[00:01:40] An' we never get upset.

[00:01:46] The fightin' and the bombin' and the bloodshed

[00:01:51] An' all the starvin' children round the world

[00:01:56] The aeroplanes crashin', and the earthquakes

[00:02:01] Right before my eyes they're all unfurled.

[00:02:07] I don't listen to the radio

[00:02:12] Well maybe just Wogan's breakfast wit and

[00:02:17] Don't give me any of those crazy ball games

[00:02:23] Where's the sense in keeping fit?

[00:02:27] But the TV news, won't you give me that confrontation

[00:02:38] Nothin' I prefer than my tea down my shirt

[00:02:43] Soakin' it up, shruggin' it off.

[00:02:49] The fightin' an' the bombin' an' the bloodshed

[00:02:54] An' all the crazy despots round the world

[00:02:59] Murders, an' the scandal an' the heartache

[00:03:04] Right inside my lounge they're all unfurled.

[00:03:08] On my TV news

[00:03:14] What a colourful presentation

[00:03:20] You' got the blood and the thunder

[00:03:22] The world goin' under,

[00:03:25] It's all there to see

[00:03:28] All on the TV news.

[00:03:35] What an' honest interpretation

[00:03:41] Straight as a die, the cameras don't lie

[00:03:46] It's all there to see

[00:03:49] All on the TV news.
