I don't need a doctor, I don't need a drugstore
I don't need an injection, I need to put the telly on

Got me in a cold sweat, I don't need no cigarette
Sh sh sh shakin' like a jelly fish, I need a satellite dish

There's no doubt that I miss nowt, a TV I can't do without
Anything you get on yer television set I'll watch it

[Chorus:]

I'm a telly, I'm a telly,telly I'm addicted
Telly I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted
I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted

I like to keep a step ahead, a TV in the garden shed
& with a telly in the bog, I never miss the epilogue

Dynasty or Daktari, a broadcast by the Tory party
Celebrity squares, blind date, who cares, I'll watch it

I'm a telly[guitar bit]
It's no surprise I've got square eyes, anyone could predict
I'm TV mad, I'm a telly addict!

I'm a man in great pain, the box is on the blink again
I don't need no morphine, I need a television screen

Documentaries, there's no degrees, I'll even watch a film
If it's
In Chinese
A speech from the Queen, though I'm not very keen I'll
Watch it

I'm a telly
Coz I'm addicted
