TV Is The Thing (This Year) - Dinah Washington

Well if you wanna 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, but now it’s outta date

TV is the thing this year

Last night I was watchin' old Tom Mix

My TV broke and I was in a fix

Got on the phone an' called my man, I said

«Get here, Daddy, as fast as you can»

TV is the thing this year

This year, TV is the thing this year

Radio was great, but now it’s outta date

TV is the thing this year

He turned my dial to channel one

I knew that this was gonna be fun

Turned right up to channel two

That station thrilled me through and through

Moved one notch to channel three

I said how I love what you’re doin' to me

TV is the thing this year

This year, TV is the thing this year

Radio was great, but now it’s outta date

TV is the thing this year

He moved on up to channel four

Just about the time someone knocked on the door

And the way he eased into channel five

I swear that man had fluid drive

Moved one notch to channel six

Opened up his little bag o' tricks

On channel seven, the show was late

But we still got our kicks on channel eight

TV is the thing this year

This year, TV is the thing this year

Radio was great, but now it’s outta date

TV is the thing this year

He grooved on up to channel nine

Said, «Sweet baby, are you satisfied?»

Turned it up to channel ten

And then, we did it, all over again

He finally hit, on channel eleven

I cried, «More, more», you treat your Daddy good

TV is the thing this year

This year, TV is the thing this year

Radio was great, but now it’s outta date

TV is the thing this year
