Lyrics - TV Dinner Casualty

Intro'd into our set the last year or so, good to have on hand for longer set times. Always hoped we could get our pals in Stay Tuned to close out the song with the I Love Lucy theme but it never came together that way.

We did, however, get to do the 7" non-guitar Misfits' version of She together at the show in Chico, CA.

(To the tune of TV Casualty)

There are green peas in everything I own
The vapor rub is lying on a table of filth
Checkup cards to which I never reply
Feel like I'm stuffed to my eyeballs tonight

TV dinner casualty, TV dinner casualty
We're all right
TV dinner casualty, TV dinner casualty
I wish they'd put Swanson in a tube
Hold on, I think I have to puke
There's a spot in the corner where I always go
I like to recycle the food that I know

But please don't take my TVdinner-'way
Please don't take my TVdinner-'way
Please don't take my TVdinner-'way
Please don't take my TVdinner-'way

TV dinner casualty, TV dinner casualty
We're all right
TV dinner casualty, TV dinner casualty

Two bucks a piece, they call this a deal
Still a cheap dinner, no cleanup
Tear off the foil, dig right in
Hard to breathe, peas stuck in my throat

Sponsors at the cemetery
Worms feasting on the fat in my grave
Coffin too small at your grave
"Curse the man who invented fried cheese!"
TV dinner casualty, TV dinner casualty
We're all right
TV dinner casualty, TV dinner casualty
We're all right
TV dinner casualty, TV dinner casualty
