Lyrics
Mike Teavee
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The most important thing
That we've ever learned
The most important we've learned
As far as children are concerned
Is never ever let them near
Your television set
Or better still, just don't install
The idiotic thing at all
It rots the senses in the head!
It keeps 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, a fairyland!
A fairyland, a 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
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 his height
But if we can't-
It serves him right
