TV Is the Thing This Year Songtext

von Dinah Washington

Well if you wanna have fun, come home with me
You can stay all night and play with my TV

TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year

Last night I was watchin' old Tom Mix
My TV broke and I was in a fix
Got on the phone an' called my man, I said
"Get here, Daddy, as fast as you can"

TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year

He turned my dial to channel one
I knew that this was gonna be fun
Turned right up to channel two
That station thrilled me through and through
Moved one notch to channel three
I said how I love what you're doin' to me

TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year

He moved on up to channel four
Just about the time someone knocked on the door
And the way he eased into channel five
I swear that man had fluid drive

Moved one notch to channel six
Opened up his little bag o' tricks
On channel seven, the show was late
But we still got our kicks on channel eight

TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year

He grooved on up to channel nine
Said, "Sweet baby, are you satisfied?"
Turned it up to channel ten
And then, we did it, all over again
He finally hit, on channel eleven
I cried, "More, more", you treat your Daddy good

TV is the thing this year
This year, TV is the thing this year
Radio was great, but now it's outta date
TV is the thing this year
