FM Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Worry the bottle, Mama
It's grapefruit wine
Kick off your high-heeled sneakers
It's party time
The girls don't seem to care what's on
As long as they play 'til dawn
Nothin' but blues and Elvis
And somebody else's favorite song
[Verse 2]
Give her some funked-up Muzak
She treats you nice
Feed her some hungry reggae
She'll love you twice
The girls don't seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right
[Chorus]
No static at all
(No static, no static at all)
FM (No static at all)
[Verse 2]
Give her some funked-up Muzak
She treats you nice
Feed her some hungry reggae
She'll love you twice
The girls don't seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right
[Chorus]
No static at all
(No static, no static at all)
FM (No static at all)
