"Somebody Forgot to Turn Off the TV"

As I roll over, there's a fish on my wall
In a regal, embattled pose
I wonder briefly, "Where am I?"
But decide I'm still home, I suppose

A bright light flickers a few feet away,
And it's also emitting a sound
The voices of Conan and Billy Mayes
Destroy slumber for miles around

I could grab the remote and turn it all off,
But the waves of my brain are too hazy
As I curse both the noise and visions so bright...
The truth is that I'm just too lazy

I roll over again and try once more
To sleep through this lightning and thunder
Knowing in morning my eyes will be red
And honestly, sir, it's no wonder.

Of the tiptoes on the hallway close to my room,

I opened my eyes and listen intently,
