A7
"Damn that television, What a bad picture"!
D7                          A7
Don't get upset, Its not a major disaster
A7
"There's nothing on tonight", he said,
A7
"I don't know what's the matter"
D7                                  A7
"Nothings ever on", she said "so I don't
know why you bother'

We've heard this little scene,
we've heard it many times
People fighting over little
things and wasting precious time
They might be better off,
I think, the way it seems to me
Making up their own shows, which might
be better than TV

Chorus:
 E     A       E   G        E       A  E G
Judy’s in the bed-room, in-venting situations.
 E     D         E       D     E      A     E  G
Bob is on the street to-day, scouting up locations.
 E          G     E          A
They’ve en-listed all their family.
 E          G     E          F#
They’ve en-listed all their friends.
    B             D      B       D
It helped saved their relation-ship,
     B       D     E
And made it work again.

Their show gets real high ratings,
they think they have a hit
There might even be a spin-off,
but they're not sure 'bout that
If they ever watch TV again,
it'd be too soon for them
Bob never yells about the picture now,
he's having too much fun

Chorus:
Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations
Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations
They've enlisted all their family
They've enlisted all their friends
It helped save their relationship
And made it work again

So think about this little scene,
apply it to your life
If your work isn't what you love,
then something isn't right
Just think of Bob and Judy, they're happy as can be
Inventing situations, putting them on TV

Chorus:
Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations
Bob is on the street today, he's having a vacation
They've enlisted all their family
They've enlisted all their friends
It helped save their relationship
And made it work again
Hit it
