Mike Teevee Songtext

von Willy Wonka

The most important thing
That we've ever learned
The most important thing
That we've learned as far
As children are concerned
Is never let them near a television set
Or better still just don't install
The idiotic thing at all.
(Never, never let them.. never, never let them)

It rots senses in the head
It kills imagination dead
It clogs and clutters up the mind
It makes a child so dull and blind.
(So dull and blind... so dull and blind)

He can no longer understand a fairytale
In fairyland (a fairyland... a fairyland)
His brain becomes as soft as cheese
His thinking powers rust and freeze.
He cannot think
He only SEES!
He only sees... he only sees)

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