Lyrics:

HUEY:
How many times did I hear it? How many times did they try?
To somehow break my spirit, to somehow make me die.
'Huey, you're odd, crazy and slow. Now much to look at-'
Well, maybe that's so. They tried so hard to drag me down low,
They didn't count on/count on-
The radio! The radio!
I knew it could teach!, I knew it could preach,
I knew it could reach across the air!
I knew it could sell, I knew it could yell,
I knew it could tell the truth out there!
Not bad for a backward hick! Not bad for a country kid!
Not a bad little ol' trick to do all that I did!

COMPANY:
We love when it sings, we love when it swings!

HUEY:
I love when it brings my soul to you!

COMPANY:
We love when it hops, we love when it bops!
The ride never stops, just feel it come through!

HUEY:
So turn the volume up now! Let the music have it's say!
Ain't no use holdin' back-
The rhythm's gonna get you, the rhythm's gonna get you,
The rhythm's gonna get you anyway!

COMPANY:
We use it to jive, we use it to thrive!

HUEY:
And I came alive on the/ on the radio!
The radio!
