This song, written in a 1920s American style, tells the story of a man who listens to the radio to overcome his loneliness, after his wife left him.
[Verse 1]
Hello, Mr. Radio, your friendly station
So glad of your company, your morning music
My wife, she ran away, she left our home
And though you're here with me, I'm on my own
[Verse 2]
Hello, Mr. Radio, your friendly speaker
You played my request today, request to see her
Your voice comes riding home across the air
You travel 'round the world, but still you're here
[Verse 3]
I heard on the news today, the world is no good
But if she returned today, mine could be so good
I look into the sky, your waves rush by
The weatherman has lied, it makes me cry
[Verse 4]
Hello, Mr. Radio, do I disturb you?
Sometimes I forget my place, I seem to know you
I miss you when you close, you'll never know
And when your programs go, I'm on my own
