Lyrics Colour TV - John Lewitt

The sun burned from a lack of lotion
Skipping stones
Living at the beach all day
Swimming in the bay
That toe head boy had it so easy
Ice cream every single other day
It was the summer way
The bonfires under pure starlight
My bedtime changed from night to night

A sailboat and a red canoe
A million different things to do
These are some of my fondest memories
Like watching black and white shows on a colour TV.

Days filled with a lack of structure
I never knew what games that we might play
Or if i'd make things out of clay
Eating out at the picnic table
Hitting town just for a change of pace
Looking for a friendly face
Trying to sleep outside in a tent
Was always a failed experiment

A sailboat and a red canoe
A million different things to do
These are some of my fondest memories
Like watching black and white shows on a colour TV

I Love Lucy and the Andy Griffith Show
Hogan was a hero, I'd like to know

A sailboat and a red canoe
A million different things to do
These are some of my fondest memories
Like watching black and white shows on a colour TV
