      Some ads you need to log in for and sadly we can't get those. Also, since
      there are so many variations, the return types might not all be 100% the
      same.

                    We'll take off our phones and we'll turn off our shoes.

                    We'll play Nintendo, though I always lose, 'cause you watch
                    the TV, while I'm watching you.

                    There's not many people, I honestly say, I don't mind
                    losing, too.

                    But there's nothing, like doing nothing, with you.
