Where was I when the lights went out?
Up in my room listening to twist and shout
Hot summer nights by the window fan
Out on the airwave, a big dance band

On the all night radio...

I gotta hear the new sound
From across the ocean
All strange and soulful,
Full of new emotion

Make ya wanna miss
Somebody that 'cha don't even know
Lying there in the darkness
With the sound down low

On the - all night - radio

Where's that music coming from?
Sure gotta whole lotta soul...

The all night radio

And you can close your eyes,
By the dials' soft glow,
Tuned into the world,
On the all night radio show


New york and memphis,
Chicago and l.a.
When you're on the wavelength
It ain't so far away

You know ya wanna be there
When the sun goes down
You're gonna feel a whole lot better
When ya hear that sound

On the all night radio
Wheres'that music coming from?
Sure gotta whole lotta soul...


The all night radio


And ya close your eyes
To the dials soft glow
Tun into the world on the all night radio show
On the radio show now...

On the all night radio

Waky, wklo, wfpk, woody's roadhouse...

On the all night radio.
