Around the Dial |
Radios of the world are tuning in tonight, |
Are you on the dial, are you tuned in right? |
One of our d.j.s is missing. |
Are you listening? |
Are you listening to me? |
Can you hear me? |
Can you hear me clearly? |
Around the dial. |
Ive been around the dial so many times, |
But youre not there. |
Somebody tells me that youve been taken off the air. |
Well, you were my favorite d.j., |
Since I cant remember when. |
You always played the best records, |
You never followed any trend. |
F.m., a.m. where are you? |
You gotta be out there somewhere on the dial. |
On the dial. |
(are you ready) were going round the dial, |
(are you listening) around the dial, |
(are you tuned in) around the dial, |
(are you searchin) around the dial. |
F.m., a.m. where are you? |
You gotta be out there somewhere on the dial. |
On the dial. |
Where did you go mr. |
d.j. |
Did they take you off the air? |
Was it something that you said to the corporation guys upstairs? |
It wasnt the pressure, |
You never sounded down. |
It couldnt be the ratings, |
You had the best in town. |
Somehow Im gonna find ya, track you down. |
Gonna keep on searchin, |
Around and around and round and round… |
(theyre searchin) around the dial, |
(theyre listenin) around the dial, |
(poor station) the best in town, |
(poor d.j.) who never let us down. |
While the critics kept on knocking you, |
You just kept on rocking around the dial. |
Around the dial. |
Ive been searchin for you on my radio. |
This time your station really must have gone underground |
Somebody said you had a minor nervous breakdown. |
Was it something that you heard, |
Or something that you saw, |
That made you lose your mind, |
Did you lose control. |
Did you step out of line? |
If youre there, give us a sign. |
I cant believe that youve been taken off the air. |
Think Ill sell my radio now that youre not there. |
You never gave in to fashion, |
You never followed any trends, |
All the record bums tried to hack you up, |
But you were honest to the end. |
Gonna keep my radio on, |
till I know just what went wrong. |
The answers out there somewhere on the dial. |
On the dial. |
Can you hear me (around the dial) |
Are you listenin (around the dial) |
Are you out there (around the dial) |
Can you hear me? |
Around the dial. |
