Video Blues |
| Well the latest craze going around |
| Is called the video cassete recorder |
| And I was the first one in my town |
| To send off my money order |
| Well I thought that thing would never get here |
| But old UPS came through |
| I ripped the box apart and bless their hearts |
| They sent a free movie too |
| Well I hooked it up once |
| And I hooked it up twice and 8 or 9 more times |
| I had it all wrong but I finally got it right |
| Just play, stop, rewind |
| I grabbed the movie they sent and I shoved it right in |
| It was called The X-Rated Reviews |
| Now, I seen movies where folks kiss |
| But I never seen nothing like this |
| Oh Lord, I got the video blues |
| Well I drove downtown to join the tape club |
| And friends I’ve got some news |
| Most all the movies they had down there |
| Was just like they one they sent me too |
| I bought Star Wars, Jaws, Poltergeist, Superman 1 and 2 |
| When they added it up I’d spent three hundred bucks |
| I got the video blues |
| I got the video blues, don’t know what to do |
| This could get expensive |
| I want a camera to zoom, remote control too |
| So I can make documentaries |
| Now they’re trying to pass laws about copyrights and all |
| And taping things off of the tube |
| I’d probably be better off if they’s haul this thing off |
| 'Cause I’ve got the video blues |
| Well I called my girl to come on over |
| 'Cause I had new movies to show |
| I started her off with Smokey And The Bandit |
| I thought I’d kind of take it slow |
| But later that night when the time was right |
| I showed one called Sweedish Ways |
| She said, «Well, I’ve never in my life. |
| Well, I guess it’s alright… |
| Hey! |
| Yeah, go on, let it play!» |
| I got the video blues, what have I got into? |
| This thing has taken my place |
| She don’t wanna hug or make any love |
| She just sits there with that funny look on her face |
| I came on too strong, I shoulda known all along |
| What I was getting into |
| She won’t give me a kiss, 'cause she’s afraid she’ll miss |
| Something from the Movies Review |
| I’ve got the video blues, don’t know what to do |
| And this could get expensive |
| I want a camera to zoom, remote control too |
| So I can make home documentaries |
| Now they’re trying to pass laws about copyrights and all |
| And taping things off of the tube |
| I’d probably be better off if they’d haul this thing off |
| 'Cause I got the video blues |
| I’d be so much better off if they’d haul this stuff off |
| 'Cause I got the video blues |
| Hey baby, it’s me. |
| I’m still here |
| Hey, look at me! |
