When John turns on the radio,
He gets all settled in his chair,
And draws his smoker up quite near.
I speak to him -- he does not hear,
But looks at me with vacant stare,
And acts just like I wasn't there,
When John turns on the radio.

I go and find myself a seat,
And listen to the music sweet;
But soon my feet start keeping time
To those sweet tunes;
We both get up and start to dance,
It thrills us so,
When John turns on the radio.

Sometimes when winter nights are cold and clear,
That lovely music seems so near,
We just feel satisfied to sit and hear
Those gems that come from far and near.
We have front seats at every show,
When John turns on the radio.
