Getting sick of Holby City
East Enders is far too gritty
Coronation Street just plain shitty
Then this is just for you
The Shopping Channel
The greatest hits of Right Said Fred
Double glazing for your garden shed
A cap for when things come to a head
It’s the shopping channel baby
A set of scales from a fish
A Pyrex lid for your satellite dish
A leprechaun to make a wish
It’s the shopping channel baby
A tube of cream for that rash decision
A ten foot rule for long division
Do it yourself circumcision
Don't go hopping channels baby
Memory foam pillows to remember your dreams
And a silly plastic thing that just makes steam
It’s the shopping channel baby
Credit card in hand pick up the phone
Fuck the mortgage I want memory foam
It’s the shopping channel baby

On a monogrammed table by Tiger Woods
Next to that soap that produces low suds
It’s the shopping channel baby.
