Somewhere, on a show I heard

That a picture tells a thousand words

So telly if you bothered to take a look

Is the equivalent of

like.....lots of books!

All i know I learnt from telly

This big beautiful bo o' facts

If you know a thing already

Baby you can switch the

channel over just like that!

Endless joy an endless laughter

Folks livin' 'appily ever after

All you need to make you wise

Is twenty three minutes

plus advertisements

Why would we waste our energy

turnin' the pages 1, 2, 3

When we can sit comfortably

on our lovely bufferlees

Watching people singing, and

talking, and doing stuff

All I know I learnt from telly

The bigger the telly the smarter the man

You can tell from my big telly

Just how clever a feller I am

Take it away son

You can't learn that from a stupid book

All i know I learnt from telly

What to think and what to buy

I was pretty smart already

But now I'm really really smart

Very very smart

Endless content, endless channels

Endless chat on endless panels

All you need to fill your muffin

Without havin' to really think or nuffin

Why would we waste our energy

Trying to work out Ulysses

When we can sit happily

on our lovely baferlees

Watching slightly famous people

talking to really famous people!

All I know I learnt from telly

The bigger the telly the smarter the man

You can tell from my big telly

Just how clever a feller i am

Who the Dickens, is Charles Dickens?

Mary Shelley, gosh she sounds smelly

Harry Potter, what a rotter

Jane Austin, incompostine

James Joyce, doesnt sound nice

Ian McEwin, i feel like spewin'

William Shakespeare?

Shmilliam Shmakespeare!

Moby Dick?

Easy Grandma

Altogether now!

All I know I learnt from telly

The bigger the telly

The smarter the man

You can tell from my big telly

What a very

Clevah

Fella

I am

Thank you very much
