(J. French)



It starts up in the morning when the kids are at school

Hubby's just forbidden by the home of his poo

She walks across the room and she turns on the set

Every show is memorized, she can't forget



Early morning quiz is essential to watch

Would I win a car or a bottle of scotch

All that she can do is sit home and stare

And hope that there she gets a chance to go on the air



[CHORUS:]



'Cause she's a TV wife with a TV life

From early in the morning 'til late at night

Her dreams and fears and wishes and her hopes

Are all being sued by a handful of soaps

For she's a TV wife with a TV life

From early in the morning 'til late at night

Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife

But everybody turns you to TV wife, everybody turns you to TV wife

TV wife, TV wife

By mid-afternoon the shows have progressed

And anchors all the characters of who she's obsessed

This was dying, that was married, this one gave birth

And the hunters nowhere took we found on this planet Earth



Hubby's home and dinner's on the wine or TV

Well, the news is on and it's just too impossible, you see

After twenty tumors, fifteen rapes and countless affairs

I can't watch the news, it's too gross, she declares



[REPEAT CHORUS]



[Solo - Jay Jay]



A TV wife with a TV life

From early in the morning 'til late at night

Your dreams and your fears and your wishes and your hopes

Are all being sued by a handful of soaps

I said a TV wife with a TV life

From early in the morning 'til late at night

Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife

Everybody turns you to TV wife, everybody turns you to TV wife

TV wife, TV wife



Well, by mid-afternoon you know the shows have progressed

And anchors all the characters with whom you're obsessed

This was dying, that was married, this one gave birth

And the hunters nowhere took we found on this planet Earth



Makeups all the cookings on a when it's time for bed

The TV guide is alma for but nothing is said

Will it be a late night movie starring Greer Garson

Or Joey Fisher filling in for airing Johnny Carson



A TV wife with a TV life

From early in the morning 'til late at night

Your dreams and your fears and your wishes and your hopes

Are all being sued by a handful of soaps

For she's a TV wife with a TV life

From early in the morning 'til late at night

Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife

And everybody turns you to TV wife, everybody turns you to TV wife

TV wife, TV wife, TV wife, TV wife, wooh
