Watch World War III on pay TV
Television can be such a thrill
Sitting home in your chair
Watch the boys over there
Charging across your TV screen
Getting blowen to smithereens
Watch World War III on pay TV
If you want to keep the kids at home
They'll be glued to their sets
Watching rockets and jets
Blowing up schools and factories
Putting an end to the birds and bees
It's worth every penny to tune in and see
Who wins the Emmy
At the ruins of the Academy
Watch World War III on pay TV
Before your television melts away
Think of the close-ups on the screen
Find a face you know
Isn't this better than Bishop Sheen?
Better than the Late, Late Show?
Watching the boys from your home town
Fighting whoever they are
Watching the cities falling down
It's greater than Jack Paar!
They're out setting up the cameras now
Though they don't know just where
Still they've got to prepare
Murrow's there to do his part
Waiting for the war to start
See the hydrogen bomb explode
As those mushrooms appear
You'll be sipping your beer
Zooming in with the Zoomar lens
Watching while the whole world ends
It's worth every penny
To tune in and see
Who wins the Emmy
At the ruins of the Academy
Watch World War III on pay TV
Before your television melts away
