Ooh it's time to turn on,
That big T.V. tube.
Watch that Bradford family,
While I eat some food.
Tune it, watch it, tune it, watch it.
It's that time for watchin'
Eight is Enough.

It's that show with five girls,
They're stuck on my mind.
Really dig those girls, man,
They stay all the time.
Mary, Joanie, Susan, Nancy.
and E-liz-a-beth, too
Eight is Enough.

Why is eight enough?
Cuz sev-ven ju-ust is not.
Eight is enough.
For a poor dad to drive him nuts.

Why did I get hooked on,
this fa-mi-ly show?
I tried to stop wat-ching,
but I can't say no.
Tune it, Watch it, Tune it, Watch it.
It's on for a whole hour,
Eight is Enough.

Eight is enough.
The dad is in the poor house.
Eight is enough.
They've got no cat to chase the mouse.

Why can't we watch Star Trek,
or Melrose Place we go.
or Seinfeld, Simpsons, even,
9-0-2-1-0.
Dumb Mar-tians, just stand there, eating tender, noo-dles.
It only makes sense on,
Eight is Enough.
Eight is Enough.
Eight is Enough.
