Hymn from the musical “The Endless Pavement”

O hail to thee O great tv
who fills our waking hours
early and late and in between we
spend our lives before the screen
plenty to do stare at the view
it’s inviting it’s exciting
it’s delighting it’s afrighting
no need to think of what to do
just view just view
it’s refreshing it’s caressing
it’s distressing it’s oppressing
no need to think of what to do
just view just view
just view just view
just view . . . view . . .view . . .
