Lyrics:

Honey ... remember ... lying on the beach in the sun, listening to the radio
Great songs they used to play ...

We love the pirate stations
We love the pirate stations
We love the pirate stations
Don't let them take them away
Don't let them take them away

When you're walking down the street with your transistor radio
Everybody has a good time.
You can dance to the beat of the transistor radio
Even when the sun don't shine

You can hear your favourite rock 'n' roll
Rhythm 'n' blues, sweet lot of soul

We love the pirate stations
We love the pirate stations
We love the pirate stations
Don't let them take them away
Don't let them take them away

There's some swingin' DJs playing Top 40 records
That'll really turn you on.
Now the government's trying to close down the stations -
What'll happen when they are gone?

You won't hear the music that you like
Any old time of day or night.

We love the pirate stations
We love the pirate stations
We love the pirate stations
Don't let them take them away
Don't let them take them away

We love the pirate stations
We love the pirate stations
We love the pirate stations
Don't let them take them away
Don't let them take them away
