Well, the latest craze going around
Is called the video cassette recorder
And I was the first one in my town
To send off my money order

Well, I thought that thing
Would never get here
But old UPS came through
I ripped the box apart and bless their hearts
They sent a free movie too


Well I hooked it up once and
I hooked it up twice
And eight or nine more times
I had it all wrong
But I finally got it right
Just play, stop, rewind

I grabbed the movie they sent and
I shoved it right in
It was called The X-Rated Reviews
Now, I seen movies where folks kiss
But I never seen nothing like this
Oh Lord, I got the video blues

Well, I drove downtown to join the tape club
And friends, I've got some news
Most all the movies they had down there
Was just like they one they sent me too

I bought Star Wars, Jaws, Poltergeist
Superman 1 and 2 when they added it up
I'd spent three hundred bucks
I got the video blues

I got the video blues, don't know what to do
This could get expensive
I want a camera to zoom, remote control too
So I can make documentaries
Now they're trying to pass laws
About copyrights and all
And taping things off of the tube
I'd probably be better off if
They'd haul this thing off
'Cause I've got the video blues


Well, I called my girl to come on over
'Cause I had new movies to show
I started her off with Smokey and the Bandit
I thought I'd kind of take it slow

But later that night when the time was right
I showed one called Swedish Ways
She said, "Well, I've never
In my life, well, i guess it's alright
Hey yeah, go on, let it play

I got the video blues, what have I got into?
This thing has taken my place
She don't wanna hug or make any love
She just sit's there with that
Funny look on her face i came on too strong
I shoulda known all along
What I was getting into
She won't give me a kiss
'cause she's afraid she'll miss
Something from the Movies Review

I've got the video blues
Don't know what to do
And this could get expensive
I want a camera to zoom, remote control too
So I can make home documentaries
Now they're trying to pass laws
About copyrights and all
And taping things off of the tube
I'd probably be better off if
They'd haul this thing off
'Cause I got the video blues

I'd be so much better off if
They'd haul this stuff off
'Cause I got the video blues
Hey baby, it's me i'm still here
Hey, look at me!
