FOG LIFTED SUNNY ALL DAY

There now you don't have to watch morning news
I'll look out the window tomorrow and give a report
I pay $200 a month to my provider to get this information
Am I stupid or what I can just look out the window to get the weather
Don't have to listen to Ernie every three minutes
And I really don't care if the fog lifted in Idaho
Sat down to watch a football game and I--
fell asleep watching repeated car commercials
I can't afford the tickets driving that fast
And that dude they are helping with his love life
I have had at least three of those things that would kill me
And if anything went on four hours the wife is shopping
Tried to watch America has talent but I was crying
Man all those performers were a soap opera of problems
And most of the show was seen in the first three minutes
Of promoting what was coming up next week
I think we should demand television shows and not commercials
If I want to buy a car I well go to car shows
I don't want to watch a hour game in three hours
Ups, Ernie's back on, He is going to give me next weeks weather.
But first he wants to sell me mattresses, cars that climb mountains
and ski down and more things that well help my love life
if I am not allergic and it well kill me. Fifteen minutes from
now after ten minutes more of commercials they have an important
message I should not miss. I think it is about next months weather.
Think I well just wait and look out the window on Monday
And I went to those casino where all those beautiful woman are playing'
Their husbands having taken that medicine that keeps them busy hurting for four hours
The women around me are on Social Security, alcoholic, and smoking cigarettes.
The cute ones were back to their real job promoting hair products
and even cuter ones selling mattresses that the sale ends this weekend,
and the ones left dressed in jeans and staring blankly at the machine
saying you lose again. Come back next month with your life savings
and get a ten cent dollar store plate.
