Turn It Off

Oh why do we all watch the tele When there’s oh such a lot we could do We could sit we could talk Go out for a walk, or paddle our own canoe There’s that book you’ve not read you could call uncle Ted You could fix the damned tap that keeps leaking You could lie on the floor and complete a jigsaw Or oil the hinge that’s still squeaking Let’s turn the set off, now I know you will scoff And I know you will start your complaining Just give it a go, then maybe, ‘fore you know You will find you won’t need entertaining
