歌曲歌詞
I got a color TV for a limited time
And you can have it by tonight
It'll bend your mind
I wouldn't just sell it
To an ordinary fool
Have to be sure that
The fool has cool
Since you look like a man
With heart and soul
If you buy it from me now
You get a free mixing bowl
I'll even let you have
A little button I' got
That says have a nice day
You're gonna like it a lot
Popular music is the national craze
Rock and roll stars have the kids in a daze
But twist the knob around for
A different point of view
And you'll twist that knob till
It comes unscrewed
There's only one song
That the TV sings and that's
'Pennies From Heaven'
While the register rings
So it's easy to see right from the start
That what makes good money
Makes good art
Now did you read the encyclical
That's written by the Pope
Sayin' Folks with private
Property just got no hope
The rich ain't welcome in
The heavenly Palladium
But the Knights of Columbus
Own Yankee Stadium
Now I ain't sayin' that the Pope was wrong
But he can easily afford to sing that song
If you'd like to call him up
When you need some dough
His number's Et Cum Spiri 2 2 0
The kids that fought the war
Are livin' outa state
And the CIA is runnin' things of late
When we elect a man
We put him on the spot
'Cause if he don't play ball
He might get shot
The national security keeps
It from the voters
'Cause what's good for America
Isn't good for general motors
We went and found ourselves
Some mighty strange lovers
The kind that like to blow from
Underneath the covers
Well millions can avoid with Dr Sigmund Freud
Those realities of life that tend
To make me paranoid
Lookin' for the answer just
Gives me indigestion
I spent so much time just
Dealin' with the question
We'd rather talk of dollars
And forget about events
When what we have to decide is
Does it all make sense
Well everybody's happy
I saw it on the news
But me
I got a case of color TV blues
You know just 'cause you're paranoid
Doesn't mean they're not trying to get ya
