Mike Teavee Lyrics

The most important thing That we've ever learned The most important thing we've learned As far as children are concerned Is never, never let them near a television set Or better still just don't install the idiotic thing at all (never, never let them, never, never let them) (never, never let them, never, never let them) It rots the senses in the head It kills imagination dead It clogs and clutters up the mind It makes a child so dull and blind (So dull and blind, so dull and blind) He can no longer understand A fairytale in fairyland (In Fairyland, in Fairyland) His brain becomes as soft as cheese His thinking powers rust and freeze He cannot think he only sees (He only sees, he only sees) Regarding little Mike Teavee We very much regret that we (regret that we) Shall simply have to wait and see We very much regret that we Shall simply have to wait and see If we can get him back to size But if we can't It serves him right
