Mike Teavee

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

It rots the senses in the head
It keeps 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 fairy tale, a fairy land (a fairy land, a fairy land)
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 Teavee
We very much regret that we, regret that we
Shall simply have to wait and see (and see, we'll wait and see
We'll wait and see, we'll wait and see, we'll 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
