Color TV Angles Down

When Dish washed dishes in a restaurant 

She scraped the black burn off of the plates 

And every time she pushed her card in the clock 

She'd peer outside as she's gripping her hands to the grate 

But one day she will leave it, she's gonna pursue her dream 

Saving up all her money to buy a washing machine 

Oh, your washing machine, makes your dirty clothes clean 

I want to stuff my laundry in your washing machine 

Oh, your microwave, just think of all the time it saves 

I want to plan a dinner for the two of us 

And cook it in your microwave 

When Dish got home she pulled the shades 

And crawled into bed inside of the clothes that she'd sewn 

And then she'd open up the Sears catalog 

And pretend they were pictures of all of the things that she owned 

But one day she will ditch her apron in the sea 

When she has plenty of money to buy a color TV 

Oh, your color TV, let me come and see 

I want to sit on your couch in front your color TV 

Oh, your VCR, in a brand new car 

I want to rent King Lawrence of Arabia and watch it on your VCR 

(repeat chorus) 

I want to plan a dinner for the two of us 

And cook it in your color TV 

Your color TV 

Your color TV 

Your color TV
