Television Tales: Unveiling the World Behind the Screen
Lyrics
A guy woke up, he had an idea, he invented television
A man wakes up, has an idea, and invents television.
Now when people come over to his house, they all watch television
People visiting his house now watch television.
They’re watchin’ baseball
They are watching baseball on TV.
They’re watchin’ TV
They are watching various TV programs, including movies and entertainment.

That’s watchin’ television
Describes the act of watching television.
Maybe it’s a cloudy day, you’re staying home, you’re lounging nicely
Depicts a scenario of relaxing at home on a cloudy day.
And an idea pops in your head, so you get an ice cream
An idea strikes, leading to the enjoyment of an ice cream.
Next, you’re dealing with the creeping endless dread that lives inside you nightly
Addresses the inner anxiety or dread that one may experience at night.
So you pop on the TV and scream for help politely
Turning to TV for distraction or comfort in times of distress.
You’re watching movies
Watching movies on television.
