Dad, I’m bored and I don’t wanna draw
And I don’t wanna play with the toys that you bought for me
So give me the remote, I’m gonna get me comatose,
Staring at the flicker of the screen
Cos I just wanna watch TV, Yeah I just wanna watch TV
Dad, you’re getting cranky, and I am too,
But I’m not gonna do anything, until I watch cartoons.
I just wanna watch TV, Yeah I just wanna watch TV
What’s on dad, I don’t know, I’m gonna stare down every show
Don’t talk to me, I know it’s a repeat
I just wanna watch TV, Yeah I just wanna watch TV
And it doesn’t have to be exciting, It can be Canadian and moralising
Gonna flick and switch and scream and stare and I’m not moving from this chair.
I just wanna watch TV, Yeah I just wanna watch TV
And I’m not going to go to sleep, I just wanna watch TV
And when the kids have gone to sleep
Darling, come sit down with me
And we’ll wash away the troubles of the day
So, put up your feet, and turn the couch to face the screen,
Cos I just wanna watch TV, Yeah I just wanna watch TV
And it doesn’t have to be intelligent, it can just be something on Channel 10,
It can comfort us in the soft blue light, and sorry I forgot to say goodnight
But I just wanna watch TV, Yeah I just wanna watch TV,
But I just wanna watch TV, Yeah I just wanna watch TV,
I’ll sit here til I fall asleep, I just wanna watch TV
