There's a smart young woman, on a light blue screen,

That comes into my room every night,

And she takes all her red, yellow, orange and green,
A7 * A7sus4 A Asus4 D
And she turns them into black and ...white
[Chorus]

But you tease, and you flirt,
G D/F# A/E D
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt,
G D A *
You can please yourself, but somebody's gonna get it!

Before they put you on the torture table

She's picking out names, I hope none of them are mine!
