Every hour of every day
we can switch on our TV
On demand, beamed from satellites 
something for everyone to see

So many channels to choose from
and such diverse variety 
From documentaries to soaps
period drama and comedy

You can always find a show
where the host has far too much to say  
And the news is always up to date 
twenty four hours a day

Sometimes I play the radio
when I need music therapy
Sometimes it is on in the background
just to keep me company 

Familiar faces and voices 
comedians and presenters
From soap actors to movie stars
DJs and the news readers 

Every day and every night
welcomed into our homes
Those in the limelight and public eye 
the famous and the well known

Often I turn on my TV 
to bring me laughter, joy and cheer
Often what is shown on TV
is difficult to watch and hear

Every hour of every day
the decision is mine to make
Who knows what I will watch today
the choice is mine to take
