'''You think he's a genius, but he's an idiot!'' Mike Teavee, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 2005)Mike Teavee is shown in both movies Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He is a television fanatic but intelligent as he cracked the system to find a ticket. He was the fourth child to find the golden ticket and the fourth to leave to the factory. The lyrics for Mike Teavee's song from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are:
The most important thing
That we've ever learned
The most important thing we've learned
As far as children are concerned
Is never, never let them near
The television set
Or better still
Just don't install the idiotic thing at all
(Ahh, ahh, never, never let them,
ahh, ahh, never, never let them,
ahh, ahh...)
(Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh...)
It rots the senses in the head
It keeps imagination dead
It clogs and clutters up the mind
It makes a child so dull and blind
(So dull, so dull)
He can no longer understand
A fairytale, a fairyland
(A fairyland, a fairyland)
His brain becomes as soft as cheese
His thinking powers rust and freeze
He cannot think, he only sees
(He only sees, he only sees)
Regarding little Mike Teavee,
We very much regret that we
(Regret that we)
Shall simply have to wait and see
(We'll wait and see,
We'll wait and see,
We'll wait and see,
We'll wait and see,
We'll wait and see...)
We very much regret that we
Shall simply have to wait and see
If we can get him back to size
But if we can't...
It serves him right.
