Paul Shaffer - When The Radio Is On lyrics

Radio! I wake up in the morning The first sound that I hear Is that clock radio (Radio) singing in my ear I make it to the bathroom to brush my teeth To that big city big beat Jump into the shower, bring my box along 'Cause I know all the words to all the songs Dj stops the music to announce the time Time has come today Grabbed my coat and grabbed my hat Made my train in seconds flat All the time I'm listening to my radio Around the block, to the corner You can hear it all night long On the roof and out on Broadway When the radio is on You can rock around the clock Because you know the beat goes on They'll be dancing in the streets Because the radio is on My whole life long has been one big song But all my parents ever said was "Turn it down" Even with my homework blasting out the cool jerk Living for the latest sound And every special event, has a particular tune That's the way that I remember everything I do My first romance ooh we used to dance to the man with the Blue Suede shoes From the eastside to the westside Uptown funk and downtown soul I go downtown and I'm listening to my radio Around the block, to the corner You can hear it all night long On the roof and out on Broadway When the radio is on You can rock around the clock Because you know the beat goes on They'll be dancing in the streets Because the radio is on Radio! Radio Well you can't sit out, when the air waves howl It's been that way since the Wolfman growled Jitterbug, Twist, Watussi too, the swim, the pony and the boogalo And while the sounds have changed, the radio still rules Now we moondance down to electric avenue Breakin, snakin', doing the worm, New York radio makes the world turn Around the block, to the corner You can hear it all night long On the roof and out on Broadway When the radio is on You can rock around the clock Because you know the beat goes on They'll be dancing in the streets Because the radio is on Around the block, to the corner You can hear it all night long On the roof and out on Broadway When the radio is on You can rock around the clock Because you know the beat goes on They'll be dancing in the streets Because the radio is on
