[Verse 1]

The most important thing

That we've ever learned

The most important thing we've learned

As far as children are concerned

Is never, never let them near (Never, never let them)

The television set (Never, never let them)

Or better still, just don't install

The idiotic thing at all

[Bridge]

Ahh, ahh, never, never let them

Ahh, ahh, never, never let them

Ahh, ahh...

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh...

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Metal break]

Never, never let them

Never, never let them

[Verse 2]

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)

[Verse 3]

Regarding little Mike Teavee

We very much regret that we (Regret that we)

Shall simply have to wait and see

[Breakdown]

We'll wait and see

We'll wait and see

We'll wait and see

We'll wait and see

We'll wait and see

[Outro]

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
