Karaoké I Saw It on T.V. John Fogerty

They sent us home to watch the show comin' on the little screen

A man named Ike was in the White House big black limousine

There were many shows that followed from Hooter to Dootyville

Though I saw them all

I can't recall which cartoons was real

The coons skin caps

Yankee bats

The Hound Dog man's big start

The A-Bomb fears

Annette had ears

I lusted in my heart

A young man from Boston said Sail the new frontier

And we watched the dream dead end in Dallas

They buried innocence that year

I know it's true

Oh so true 'cos I saw it on T.V.

We gathered 'round to hear the sound comin' on the little screen

The grief had passed

The old men laughed and all the girls screamed

'Cos four guys from England took us all by the hand

It was time to laugh

Time to sing

Time to join the band

But all too soon we hit the moon and covered up the sky

They built the bombs and aimed their guns and still I don't know why

The dominoes tumbled and big business roared

Every night at six they showed the pictures and counted up the score

I know it's true

Oh so true 'cos I saw it on T.V.

The old man rocks among his dreams

A prisoner of the porch

The light he says at the end of the tunnel was nothin' but a burglar's torch

And them that was caught in the cover are all rich and free

But they chained my mind to an endless tune when they took my only son from me

I know it's true

Oh so true 'cos I saw it on T.V.

I know it's true

Oh so true

'Cos I saw it on T.V.
