Walkin' down to denver town |
|
I watched the western sun go down. |
|
Thought that I would stop a while, |
|
Switch around my tv dial. |
|
Got some free tee vee . . . only price was a little boredom. |
|
Well, I'm not sure about my taste |
|
But it seemed that tv land was a waste. |
|
I saw 30 westerns, 30 private eyes, 30 doctors operated before my eyes. |
|
None of the operations was successful, though . . . it's hard to operate |
|
With so much violence around. |
|
Well, every few minutes they'd take a break |
|
For a profound message on a stomach ache. |
|
They sold cures for dandruff, milk from the farm |
|
Perfume for my underarms. |
|
I've had enough . . . I'm stickin' to greasy kid stuff. |
|
Well, the blood and gore was upon the floor |
|
And I couldn't hardly stand no more, |
|
So I walked outside to get some air. |
|
A theater owner was standing there: |
|
Carryin' a picket sign . . . said pay tv was un-american. |
|
He said "i'm against that pay tv. |
|
I've much rather have people pay me." |
|
A dollar for parking, two for the show, |
|
Three for the baby sitter, there you go! |
|
Get to see a wide-screen spectacular . . . hercules meets godzilla . . . |
|
Audience meets nausea. |
|
Well, pay tv is fine to see |
|
You get much better quality: |
|
Broadway shows, heavy-weight fights |
|
First-run movies every night. |
|
Viewers of denver, unite! . . . nothing to lose but commercials. |
|
Well, people are afraid of something new. |
|
They laughed at planes before they flew. |
|
You know, you only get just what you buy |
|
So give that pay tv a try. |
|
Remember: . . . families that pay together stay together. |
