Subject: RE: Who wrote 'Television' (Snuffy Jenkins)?
Well, then, here's the rest of it:


I used to go out on a spree and say that I was sick.
My boss, he never doubted me, it always did the trick.
Last time that I tried it, though, he said now you're all wet.
I saw you at the ballgame on my television set.

CHORUS

I went out to wrestling match, it really was a fight.
I got so excited I grabbed somebody tight.
It was the girl right next to me up in the mezzanine.
My wife she saw us wrestling on her television screen.

CHORUS

I used to sing my cowboy songs upon the radio
My horse and I were riding high but now we're mighty low.
Since televison came along I lost my job, of course.
When they saw what I looked like, they just signed up the horse.

CHORUS and out
