Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Damn that television, what a bad picture
Don't get upset, it's not a major disaster
"There's nothing on tonight", he said, "I don't know what's the matter"
"Nothing's ever on", she said, "so I don't know why you bother"
[Verse 2]
We've heard this little scene, we've heard it many times
People fighting over little things and wasting precious time
They might be better off, I think the way it seems to me
Making up their own shows, which might be better than TV
[Chorus]
Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations
Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations
They've enlisted all their family
They've enlisted all their friends
It helped save their relationship
And made it work again
[Verse 3]
Their show gets real high ratings, they think they have a hit
There might even be a spin off, but they're not sure 'bout that
So think of Bob and Judy, they're happy as can be
Inventing situations, putting them on TV
[Verse 4]
Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations
Bob is on the street today, he is starting operations
They've enlisted all their family
They've enlisted all their friends
It helped save their relationship
And made it work again
