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 watch the big game, on TV Its spring time its warm and how the sap rises Your 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 Go off and do what you do when your free Just leave me alone, go and watch the TV
