I Can’t Watch This Songtext
von “Weird Al” Yankovic

I can′t watch this

I can't watch this

I can′t watch this

My, my, my (I can't watch this)
My TV makes me so bored
Makes me say "oh, my Lord"
What is this garbage here?
Wanna cover my eyes and plug my ears
It sucks, and that's no lie
It′s about as much fun as watching paint dry
Lowers my IQ one notch
And that′s the reason why, uh, I can't watch

I told you homeboy... I can′t watch this
Yeah, nothing but trash and you know... I can't watch this
Poke out my eyes, man... I can′t watch this
Yo, gimme that remote control... I can't watch this


Talkin′ 'bout sick shows
There's America′s Funniest Home Videos
I can′t believe my eyes
When I see the kind of stuff that wins first prize
Somebody's poor old mom falls down off the roof
Lands right on the lawn
Face first on a rake
I hear they′ve got it on the seventeenth take
That's funny as a kick in the crotch
And that kind of show, uh, I can′t watch

Yo, I told you... I can't watch this
Change the channel now, man... I can′t watch this
Yo, pass the TV Guide here, sucker... I can't watch this

Cosby Show and Roseanne
Think I've taken ′bout as much as I can
Judge Wapner, oh my
You gotta be Rain Man to like this guy
Thirtysomething is alright
If you like hearing yuppies whining all night
Can′t stand Twin Peaks
Wish they'd lynch those doughnut-eatin′ freaks
Those Siskel & Ebert bums
Oughta go home and sit on their thumbs

That's word because you know... I can′t watch this
I can't watch this
Break it down!


Here′s how to order...
Money back guarantee...
Removes tough stains fast...
It tastes more like fresh peanuts...
They keep going and going...
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful...
Could be dandruff...
Our prices are insane!
Stop, prime-time

I′m pretty sure I′ll be sick
If I have to watch another stupid pet trick
Or that guy with the real flat hair
That goes "woof-woof-woof" and waves his fist in the air
Or those weird talk shows
About transsexual Nazi Eskimos
They're rude, crude and vile
Just for a minute let′s flip down the dial

Flip, flip, flip... yech, I can't watch this
Look man... I can′t watch this
I can't take this torture no more, I can′t...
I can't watch this
Pay the bills, station break
Break it down!

Operators are standing by...
Cubic zirconium necklaces...
You're soaking in it...
And our fabulous swimsuit issue...
When you′ve got a headache this big...
Read the book...
This is your brain on drugs...
I′ve fallen and I can't get up!
Stop, Cable Time

HBO and Playboy, Showtime and MTV
I might like ′em more after my lobotomy
Now why did I ever pay for this junk?
I hooked up eighty channels and each one stunk
Just brainless blood and guts, and mindless T&A
It's awful, it′s putrid, it's crummy, it′s stupid, gonna throw my set away

I can't watch this

I can't watch this

I can′t watch this

Yeah... I can′t watch this
I told you... can't watch this
Too hip, can′t watch this
Get me outta here... can't watch this
