Watching TV

You want to go out on your own for a beer

Catch up with a friend you’ve not seen for a year

Hear all the news about who’s doing what

How much they earn, and the things they have got

But your wife says" now honey, stay home with me"

So you sit and stagnate as you watch the TV
.

The big games tomorrow you’ve tickets for two

You ask her to go, but there’s so much to do

The fence it needs painting, there’s stuff to repair

The car and the mower the tread on the stair

When the chores are all done and you’ve time that is free

You sit down and you watch, the big game, on TV
.

Its spring time its warm and how the sap rises

You're looking for love but there’ll be few surprises

She knows what you mean when you say time for bed

And will promptly announce she’s got pains in the head

So you fix up a sandwich, a nice cup of tea

Then sit there and fester and watch the TV
.

Let’s go to the lake we can hire a canoe

“I’m sorry I can’t I’ve got ironing to do”

We can take a nice picnic and go to the coast

“There’s no time for that, not with chicken to roast

So go off and do what you do when your free

Just leave me alone, go and watch the TV
