Watchin' The Tv News Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

I don't read those fancy newspapers 

I don't care for the print on my fingers 

I can't take that slanted press 

An' you know how the smell of the paper lingers. 

 

But the TV news, what a wonderful innovation 

Well it's where it's at, tea on my lap 

Soakin' it up, lappin' it up. 

 

I don't watch much television 

Maybe 'The Street' and 'Blankety Blank' 

I don't play any of those crazy ball games 

Where's the sense in sweatin' no thanks. 

 

But my TV news, it's a marvellous presentation 

Perfect end to the day, tea on a tray 

An' we never get upset. 

 

The fightin' and the bombin' and the bloodshed 

An' all the starvin' children round the world 

The aeroplanes crashin', and the earthquakes 

Right before my eyes they're all unfurled. 

 

I don't listen to the radio 

Well maybe just Wogan's breakfast wit and 

Don't give me any of those crazy ball games 

Where's the sense in keeping fit? 

 

But the TV news, won't you give me that confrontation 

Nothin' I prefer than my tea down my shirt 

Soakin' it up, shruggin' it off. 

 

The fightin' an' the bombin' an' the bloodshed 

An' all the crazy despots round the world 

Murders, an' the scandal an' the heartache 

Right inside my lounge they're all unfurled. 

 

On my TV news 

What a colourful presentation 

You' got the blood and the thunder 

The world goin' under, 

It's all there to see 

All on the TV news. 

 

What an' honest interpretation 

Straight as a die, the cameras don't lie 

It's all there to see 

All on the TV news.
