Mike Teavee

The most important thing

That we've ever learned

The most important we've learned

As far as children are concerned

Is never, never ever let them near

Your television set

Or better still, just don't install

The idiotic thing at all



Never, never let them

Never, never let them



Never, never let them

Never, never let them



It rots the senses in the head! 

It keeps imagination dead! 

It clogs and clutters up the mind! 

It makes a child so dull and blind! 

So dull and blind, so dull and blind! 



He can no longer understand

A fairytale, a fairyland! 

A fairyland, a fairyland! 

His brain becomes as soft as cheese

His thinking powers rust and freeze

He cannot think, he only sees! 

He only sees, he only sees! 



Regarding little Mike Teavee

We very much regret that we



Regret that we



Shall simply have to wait and see

And see, wait and see, wait and

See, wait and see, wait and see



We very much regret that we

Shall simply have to wait and see

If we can get him back his height

But if we can't 

It serves him right
