Time was when my Alice and I would talk to the break of dawn
But lately when I see her, she's always got the TV on
And whenever I try to kiss her, it's time to change to another show
Alice, Alice, ain't no way for love to grow
Alice baby, one of these days I'll turn your TV off for good
I'll remove the resistors from all the transistors,
turn you on like I know I should
And turn you on like I know I should
Time was when I would say to her, how much do you love me tell me
But now every evening I can't interrupt her viewing of Marcus Welby
I can't deny she always welcomes me and is hospitable
But loving her has gotten rough, it's now mission impossitable
Alice baby, one of these days I'll turn your TV off for good
I'll remove the resistors from all the transistors,
turn you on like I know I should
And turn you on like I know I should
Time was when my Alice and I did enjoy a moonlight walk
But now I'm forced to sit while we listen to Johnny Carson talk
Time was when my Alice and I had a love so real
But I'd give a lot, yeah all I've got, if she'd once say let's make a deal
Alice baby, one of these days I'll turn your TV off for good
I'll remove the resistors from all the transistors,
turn you on like I know I should
And turn you on like I know I should
Alice baby, one of these days I'll turn your TV off for good
I'll remove the resistors from all the transistors,
turn you on like I know I should
And turn you on like I know I should
