The most important thing, that we've ever learned
The most important thing we've learned
as far children are concerned
Is nerver, never let them near, a television set
Or better still just don't intall the idiotic thing
at all
(Is nerver, 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 blind... So blind)

You can no longer understand a fairytale
In fairyland
(A fairyland... A fairyland)

His brian becomes as soft as cheese
his thinking powers rust asn freeze
He cannot thing, he only SEES!

Regarding little Mike Teavee
we very much regret that we (Regret that we)
Will simply have to wait and see
We very much regret that we
Will simply have to wait and see
if we can get him back to size
But if we can't... It serves him right!
