Lyrics
Somewhere, on a show, I heard
That a picture tells a thousand words
So, telly, if you bothered to take a look
Is the equivalent of, like. .. Lots of books!
Every time the word "telly" is mentioned in the following verses, MICHAEL yells the word along with his father.
All I know, I learnt from Telly
This big beautiful box of facts
If you know a thing already
Baby, you can switch the channel over just like that.
Endless joy and endless laughter
Folks living happily ever after
All you need to make you wise
Is twenty-three minutes plus advertisements.
Why would we waste our energy
Turning the pages, one, two, three?
When we can sit comfortably
On our lovely bumferlies
Watching people singing, and talking, and doing stuff?
All I know, I learnt from Telly
The bigger the telly, the smarter the man
You can tell from my big telly
Just how clever of a fellow I am!
Take it away, son.
MICHAEL steps forward, and after some consideration, plucks a note on his ukulele. After a pause, he looks down and plucks another doleful note.
You can't learn that from a stupid book, [audience member's name]!
All I know, I learnt from Telly
What to think and what to buy
I was pretty smart already
But now I'm really, really smart, very very smart.
Endless content, endless channels
Endless chat on endless panels
All you need to fill your muffin
Without having to really fink or nuffin.
Why would we waste our energy
Trying to work out "ooh"-lysses?
When we can sit happily on our lovely bapperlies
Watching slightly famous people talking to really famous people?
All I know I learnt from Telly
The bigger the telly, the smarter the man
You can tell from my big telly
Just how clever of a fellow I am.
MICHAEL runs out and grabs a giant trash can. MR WORMWOOD walks over to a small book cart and starts throwing books over his shoulder, and MICHAEL catches them in the trash can.
Who the Dickens is Charles Dickens? Mary Shelley? Cor, she sounds smelly. Charlotte Bronte? Do not want-y! Jane Austin? In the compostin'. James Joyce? He doesn't sound noice. Ewen mcewan? Ugh, I feel like spewin'. William Shakespeare? Schwilliam Schmakespeare. Moby Dick? [He titters.] Easy, grandma!
All together, now!
All I know, I learnt from Telly!
The bigger the telly, the smarter the man
You can tell from my big Telly
What a very clever fellow I am
Thank you very much.
