It was in the morning, a sunny [Eb] Saturday
I turned on the TV and on the couch I lay
I watched my favorite program [Bb] and another two or three
When my dad came in [Eb] the room and said these words to me
[Ab] Son, turn off the TV, [Eb] there's lots of things to do
[Ab] Your bed's not made, the [Eb] chores aren't done, the sun is shining too
[Ab] I said, Dad, I'm busy, I gotta [C] watch this [F] show
I guess I should've [Bb] listened, but how was I to know
[G] Cause then he walked across the room and then he pulled the plug
[D] He lifted up the television, he skipped [Cm] across the rug
He opened up the [Eb] window, and [C] then I said, Dad, no!
He gave the [Bb] thing a heave and I watched the TV [Ebm] go
Oh, Dad threw the [Ab] TV out the window
[Eb] The window, I think he's [F] finally cracked
[Eb] Dad threw the TV [Ab] out the window, I got a feeling [Eb] that it isn't coming back
Oh, when I saw it go, [Bb] when I heard the crash
I knew the things at our house would soon be changing fast
My dad looked out the window [Bb] and he mumbled, my oh my
My brother looked out [Eb] too and said, I'm gonna die
[Ab] And that night after dinner, when we went to watch the set
[Ab] All I found was [Eb] nothing, I said, how could I forget
My brother fell down on the floor and moaned, what will I do
I said, [C] why don't you move away, he said, the same to [G] you
But then he told a joke, and [Cm] I told two or three
And the one about the elephants made Dad fall on his knees
[Bb] My mom did her impression of a duck that [F] couldn't fly
That would've made you wet your pants and maybe even cry
[Eb] Dad threw the TV out the window, the window, I think he's finally cracked
Dad threw the TV [Ab] out the window, I got a feeling that it isn't coming back
[Bb]
Well, [Eb] life without the [Bb] TV wasn't what I feared
I didn't really miss it, though some [Eb] friends thought I was weird
I didn't miss [Bb] commercials and all the blood and guts
And all the stupid [Eb] shows my brother watched that drove me nuts
[Ab] But then one sunny Saturday, my [Eb] dad could not be found
I looked high and low and [Eb] from his room I heard a sound
[Ab] I walked into his room to see what it could [F] be
I found my father [Bb] hiding there, watching [D] a TV
I said, oh Dad, now [Cm] really, you ought to be [G] ashamed
He said kind of sheepishly, I just want to [Ab] watch the game
I picked up the TV, I waltzed across the [F] room
I gave the thing a heave and I waited [Bb] for the boom
Oh, [Eb] I threw the TV out the window, the window, I [Bb] think I finally cracked
I threw the [Ab] TV out the window, I got a feeling that it isn't coming back
[Eb] Oh, I threw the [Ab] TV out the window, [Eb] the window, I think I finally cracked
I threw the TV out the window, and I'll live if it never comes back
I turned on the TV and on the couch I lay
I watched my favorite program [Bb] and another two or three
