I've Been Working on the Radio lyrics
Saturday, March 4, 2006
Listen
I've been working on the radio
Since I was 23.
I've been working on the radio
Cause I cannot do TV.
Anyone who's seen my picture
Knows the reason why.
I'll be working on the radio
Until the day I die.
Someone's in the kitchen and she's listening
I got a couple listeners I know
Someone in Fargo or Edina
Listening to the radio and making
Three slices griddle-fried dough
Three slices griddle-fried dough
Three slices griddle-fried dough
Strumming on the old banjo.
(BANJO BREAK)
Can't you hear the captain shouting,
Rise up so early in the morn.
Can't you hear your darling saying,
Your underwear is torn.
Your underwear is torn
Your underwear is torn
Your underwear is torn in two
Your underwear is torn, your underwear is torn
And I can see right through.
I've been working on the radio
And I always will
I am climbing up the mountain
And then over the hill.
I don't do any web streams
Don't do mp3
I don't do any ring tones
Radio is good enough for me.
