TV Wife

It starts up in the morning when the kids are at school
Hubby's just forbidden by the home of his poo
She walks across the room and she turns on the set
Every show is memorized, she can't forget
Early morning quiz is essential to watch
Would i win a car or a bottle of scotch
All that she can do is sit home and stare
And hope that there she gets a chance to go on the air
[chorus:]
'cause she's a tv wife with a tv life
From early in the morning 'til late at night
Her dreams and fears and wishes and her hopes
Are all being sued by a handful of soaps
For she's a tv wife with a tv life
From early in the morning 'til late at night
Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife
But everybody turns you to tv wife, everybody turns you to tv wife
Tv wife, tv wife
By mid-afternoon the shows have progressed
And anchors all the characters of who she's obsessed
This was dying, that was married, this one gave birth
And the hunters nowhere took we found on this planet earth
Hubby's home and dinner's on the wine or tv
Well, the news is on and it's just too impossible, you see
After twenty tumors, fifteen rapes and countless affairs
I can't watch the news, it's too gross, she declares
[repeat chorus]
[solo - jay jay]
A tv wife with a tv life
From early in the morning 'til late at night
Your dreams and your fears and your wishes and your hopes
Are all being sued by a handful of soaps
I said a tv wife with a tv life
From early in the morning 'til late at night
Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife
Everybody turns you to tv wife, everybody turns you to tv wife
Tv wife, tv wife
Well, by mid-afternoon you know the shows have progressed
And anchors all the characters with whom you're obsessed
This was dying, that was married, this one gave birth
And the hunters nowhere took we found on this planet earth
Makeups all the cookings on a when it's time for bed
The tv guide is alma for but nothing is said
Will it be a late night movie starring greer garson
Or joey fisher filling in for airing johnny carson
A tv wife with a tv life
From early in the morning 'til late at night
Your dreams and your fears and your wishes and your hopes
Are all being sued by a handful of soaps
For she's a tv wife with a tv life
From early in the morning 'til late at night
Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife
And everybody turns you to tv wife, everybody turns you to tv wife
Tv wife, tv wife, tv wife, tv wife, wooh
