"KHJ Los Angeles. Portions of the day's programming are
reproduced by means of electrical transcription or tape recordings."

A VCR and a DVD
There wasn't none of that crap back in 1970
We didn't know about a world wide web
It was a whole different game being played
Back when I was a kid
You wanna get down in a cool way?
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
With the big bell bottoms and groovy long hair
Just a walking in style with a portable CD player

No you listen to the music on the AM radio
Yea, you can hear the music on the AM radio

Flash back to '72
Another summer in the neighbrohood
Hanging out with nothing to do
Sometimes we go driving around in my sister's Pinto
Crusing with the windows rolled down
We listen to the radio station
We were too damn poor to buy the 8-track tapes
But it was a good time don't wanna be inside
My momma wanna watch that TV
All God damn night
   C           F       G#      A#
   ^  ^  ^  ^  ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

I'd be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song
You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the AM radio

AM radio
Yea, you could hear the music
On the AM radio
I can still hear momma say
"Boy turn that radio down!"

 "Oh Mom, not that show again. I don't wanna watch that show.
Can't we watch Good Times with Chico and the Man or something cool?
Turn it off!"

Things changed back in '75
We were all growing up on the in and the outside
We got in trouble with the police man
We got busted for getting high
In the back of my friend's van

I remember 1977
I started going to concerts
And I saw the Led Zeppelin

I got a guitar on Christmas Day
I dreamed that Jimmy Page would come to Santa Monica and teach me to play

Teach me to play  Jimmy Page

Teach me to play  Teach me to play

There isn't any other place that I need to go
There isn't anything that I need to know
That I did not learn from the radio

                                               Ha ha ha

            Yeah, when things gets stupid and I just don't know

   When I find my happy
I listen to the music on the AM Radio
You can hear the music on the AM Radio
I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco
We like pop, we like soul, we like rock, but we never liked disco

We like pop, we like soul, we like rock, but we never liked disco
We like pop, we like soul, we like rock, but we never liked disco
AM Radio... No we never liked disco
AM Radio... No we never liked disco
AM Radio... No we never liked disco
AM Radio... No we never liked disco
