Lyrics

"Damn that television, what a bad picture" "Don't get upset, it's not a major disaster" "There's nothing on tonight," he said, "I don't know what's the matter" "Nothing's ever on," she said, "so I don't know why you bother" We've heard this little scene, we've heard it many times People fighting over little things and wasting precious time They might be better off, I think, the way it seems to me Making up their own shows, which might be better than TV Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations They've enlisted all their family They've enlisted all their friends It helped save their relationship And made it work again Their show gets real high ratings, they think they have a hit There might even be a spin-off, but they're not sure 'bout that If they ever watch TV again, it'd be too soon for them Bob never yells about the picture now, he's having too much fun Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations They've enlisted all their family They've enlisted all their friends It helped save their relationship And made it work again So think about this little scene, apply it to your life If your work isn't what you love, then something isn't right Just think of Bob and Judy, they're happy as can be Inventing situations, putting them on TV Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations Bob is on the street today, he's having a vacation They've enlisted all their family They've enlisted all their friends It helped save their relationship And made it work again Hit it!
