Maybe it's my disposition or perhaps the way I was raised
Could be something in the water, maybe ultra-violet rays
Anyway I did it with the ultimate precision
And I tend to blame the television
Maybe growing up in the 70's really bell-bottomed me out
Maybe it was something in those metal lunch boxes or the lava lamps all over the house
Anyway I did it with the ultimate precision
And I tend to blame the television
There was my three sons, mannix, lucy, mary tyler moore
Edith and archie, sanford and son, and the queen ellery
Andy griffith, marcia brady, and emergency
Maybe this all stems from a game show, maybe matchgame 75'
Maybe seeing charles nelson reilly, maybe it was this is your life
Anyway I did it with the ultimate precision
And I tend to blame the television
