Jerry Springer’s got people fighting, every day on his TV show

Why folks find that exciting, I really don’t want to know

Entertainment has become so nasty I can’t watch any more

We need a lot more Andy Griffith, and a lot less Jersey Shore.
Uncle Jed and Granny Clampett, and Jethro and Ellie May
Would be shocked by what we’re seeing and hearing on the shows today
Kirk and Spock and Uhura would beam out of here that’s for sure,
We need a lot more Andy Griffith, and a lot less Jersey Shore.
Instead of Petticoat Junction, now we’ve got Sex In The City
And the Real Housewives of wherever, instead of Matt Dillon and Miss Kitty.
Reality TV programs have a lot to answer for,
We need a lot more Andy Griffith, and a lot less Jersey Shore.
Parking wars, storage wars, auction wars, and cupcake wars as well,
Haven’t these people learned a lesson, that war is really hell.
Hawkeye and Colonel Potter, and Radar would sure be sore,
We need a lot more Andy Griffith, and a lot less Jersey Shore.
Journalism is now paparazzi, and gossip shows and TMZ
Celebrities acting like a jackass, to get their faces on TV
We never would have got the Kardashians on Mary Tyler Moore,
We need a lot more Andy Griffith, and a lot less Jersey Shore.
Lawrence Welk and HeeHaw , didn’t need hip hop or rap
But our kids listen to this garbage and become infected by that crap
The boys with their pants down around their butts, and the girls dressed like a who…
We need a lot more Andy Griffith, and a lot less Jersey Shore.
We need a lot more Andy Griffith, and a lot less Jersey Shore.
