On the Radio Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, yeah
(Ooh)

[Verse 1]
Greenback band of the hour
Setting half the trends we know
They've got the power
They're on the radio
(Oh, oh)

[Verse 2]
Flap-trap terminal D.J
(Oh, yes)
Repeating everything he know
He picks the hits
Hey, he's on the radio

[Chorus]
Just by flippin' one button
You got an instant song
You needn't try to learn it
'Cause no one'll like it long

[Verse 3]
Hark to the three-word poet
Makin' up the words as he goes
But you'd never know it
'Cause he's on the radio
(Oh)
Yeah
(Whoo, hoo)

[Guitar Solo]
I'm talkin' 'bout the radio
Well, well, well
You know, you know
Talkin' 'bout the radio

[Chorus]
Big wigs in ivory towers
Gotcha forty songs to play
You can hear them every hour
While they're laughing to the bank each day

[Verse 4]
Play it to me over and over
Play it in your car on the go
Play it on your jukebox
Play it on your radio

[Verse 5]
Pay no mind what you're playing
But turn it up a whole lot more
(Whole lot more, baby)
Be like your D.J
Be like your radio
(Want you to be like your radio)
Be like your D.J
Now be like your radio
(Want you to be like your radio)
Be like your D.J
(Come on, baby)
Be like your radio
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, yeah
Ah, ah, ah
Now don't touch that dial!
And lemme hear you smile!
(Talkin' 'bout the radio)
Ooo yeah
(Ooh, hoo)
I said ooh yeah
(Radio)
Join the crowd
(Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout)
Turn it up loud
(The radio)
(Turn it up, baby, I can't hear it)
(I said I can't hear it, turn it up, man)
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Radio
Mama's little baby likes shortenin', shortenin'
Mama's little baby likes shortenin' bread
Mama's little baby likes shortenin', shortenin'
Mama's little baby likes shortenin'
