Video Blues

作词 : Williams, Williams

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.

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.

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!
