Weird Al Yankovic - Couch Potato Lyrics

Send "Couch Potato" ringtone to your cell

Look

If you had

One shot

To sit on your lazy butt

And watch all the tv you ever wanted

Until your brain turned to mush

Would you go for it?

Or just let it slip?

Yo

Remote is ready

Eyes wide palms are sweaty

There's flintstones on the tv already

Wilma 'n' betty

No virgin to channel surfin'

And i'm hd-ready

So i flip

Garbage is all i'm getting

There's simon cowell

Who folks wanna disembowel

He opens his mouth

Always says something foul

They're dyin' wow

Wannabes are crying now

He votes them out

Time to throw in the towel

Shows based on reality

Oh the humanity!

Oh ozzy's family

Sho' loves profanity

Whoa the insanity

Oh dogs that crap and pee

Home of depravity?

No they live happily

Yo

Plus "da ali g show"

And "celebrity mole"

Oh and there's anna nicole

Well she's scaring me

"look ma no cavities"

Oh it's a station break

Better go out to the kitchen and microwave something

"you're gonna lose your mind watchin' tv" they told me they'd scold me

But i'd still tune in every show (show)

My cable gets c-span tv-land and hbo

The travel channel discovery and lifetime (yo)

"you're gonna lose your mind watchin' tv"

They told me cajoled me "turn off those music videos" (no)

I'm gonna watch c-span tv-land and hbo

The history channel and qvc and lifetime (yo)

(you're gonna)

My butt is aching

As i watch nascar racing

That show about undertaking

Larry king

To "24" to "law and order"

The weather channel's boring like "60 minutes"'s ancient reporters

Next up on "e! true hollywood story"

The rise and decline of twelve actors named corey

Shows for next fall they've already been namin'

"csi: boise" and "touched by an uncle" both sound pretty lame 'n'

So does "everybody tolerates raymond"

And "king of queens" jumped the shark the first minute

I can't believe richard simmons ain't in it

I'll move right on to "8 simple rules for dating my teenaged daughter"

Then i bet

I watch "the bachelorette"

Followed by "welcome back kotter"

And "the muppet show" where they go 'mahna mahna'

"you're gonna lose your mind watching tv"

They told me they'd scold me

But i'd still tune in every show (show)

My cable gets c-span tv-land and hbo

The disney channel and a&e and lifetime (yo)

"you're gonna lose your mind watching tv"

They told me cajoled me

But i still love lisa kudrow (drow)

I'm looking at c-span tv-land and hbo

The playboy channel and court tv and lifetime (yo)

(you're gonna)

Never missed "melrose place" or "lost in space"

I've seen each "amazing race" and "without a trace"

But i only watched "will and grace" one time one day

Wish i hadn't 'cause tivo now thinks i'm gay

Oh and "fear factor" i watched maybe a half hour

After that felt like i needed a long shower

Network execs with naked ambitions

"next week on fox watch lions eat christians"

Like to tie up those programming planners

Make 'em watch all of that junk 'til their heads explode just like "scanners"

Leech-covered grub-eatin' fools on "survivor"

Look there's james lipton discussing the oeuvre of mr. rob schneider

And there's "gilligan" and "spongebob" plus there's "macgyver"

And jay leno has got madonna hey there's luke perry on a

Special all pig-latin episode of "drew carey"

Wanna turn on "e.t." 'cause i'm a gossip freak

And i gotta know who j. lo is marryin' this week

A 30 second spot

Then we come back to "are you hot?"

I was planning on recording "the sopranos"

I forgot

I love shows with or without a plot

I'll stare 'til my legs are numb my eyes bloodshot

Because i only have got

One brain to rot

I'm gonna spend my life watching television a lot

"you're gonna lose your mind watching tv"

They told me they'd scold me

But i'd still tune in every show (show)

My cable gets c-span tv-land and hbo

The sci-fi channel and amc and lifetime (yo)

"you're gonna lose your mind watching tv"

They told me cajoled me "turn off that oprah winfrey show" (no)

I got it on c-span tv-land and hbo

The learning channel and mtv and lifetime (yo)

(you're gonna)

You can watch anything you want to man
