Dinah Washington - TV Is The Thing lyrics

If you want to have fun, come home with me You can stay all night and play with my TV TV is the thing this year, this year TV is the thing this year Radio was great; now it's out of date TV is the thing this year Last night I was watching old Tom Nix My TV broke, I was in a fix I got on the phone and called my man Said, "get here, daddy, as fast as you can" TV is the thing this year, oh TV is the thing this year Radio was great, but now it's out of date And TV is the thing this year Now he turned my dial to channel one I knew that this was gonna be fun He turned my dial to channel two That station thrilled me through and through He moved one notch to channel three I said, "oh, how I love what you're doin' to me" He said, "wait a minute, let's try channel four" Just about that time someone knocked on the door TV is the thing this year, oh, yes TV is the thing this year Radio was great; now it's out of date TV is the thing this year The way he eased into channel five That man must've had fluid drive He moved once more to channel six Then he opened up his bag of tricks On channel seven the show was late But we got our kicks on channel eight He turned my dial to channel nine Said, "baby, your set is workin' fine" He moved on up to channel ten Then we started all over again He finally hit channel eleven I cried, "mama, he treats your daughter so good" TV is the thing this year, yes TV is the thing this year Yes, radio was great, but now it's out of date TV is the thing this year Baby, my set will need fixin' just about this time every night
