TELEVISION GENERATION
(Birch/Bull) © Rock Music Co Ltd

Next door lives a lonely girl, quiet as a mouse.  Though I wanna take her out, I couldn’t get her out of the house. 

She was a part of the t-t-t-television, g-g-g-generation.  T-t-t-television, g-g-g-generation.  Only seventeen and glued to the screen, television generation queen, T-t-t-television, g-g-g-generation. 

She don’t get around too much 'cos she stays in her seat.  Falls for every TV cop who’s cleaning up the street.  When I got to ask that girl if she would come out and play, poor thing she was stuck for words, all she could say was ‘no way’.

She was a part of the t-t-t-television, g-g-g-generation.  T-t-t-television, g-g-g-generation.  Only seventeen and glued to the screen, television generation queen, T-t-t-television, g-g-g-generation. 

Channel one, if she’s watching the late show; Channel two, she’ll be missing football; Channel three, and the start of the late night film, what can she do when she loves them all?

T-t-t-television, g-g-g-generation.  T-t-t-television, g-g-g-generation.  Only seventeen and glued to the screen, television generation queen, T-t-t-television, g-g-g-generation. 

T-t-t-television, g-g-g-generation.  T-t-t-television, g-g-g-generation.  Only seventeen and glued to the screen, television generation queen, Raised on Bugs Bunny and Double Your Money, television generation’s funny, t-t-t-television, g-g-g-generation.
