Intro
Lookin' for my daddy inside that bar
Mama said, "Baby wait for me in the car"
I sat and let the music wash over me
KPLS and KFRC
Plastic, silver nine volt heart,
Click it on and let the music start,
The ra-di-o was my toy,
The ra-di-o was my toy.
She was twenty and I was sixteen years old,
Sittin' in a parked car on a country road,
Runnin' my fingers through her long, black hair,
The Staples singin', "Baby, I'll take you there"
Plastic, silver nine volt heart,
Click it on and let the music start,
The ra-di-o was my toy,
The ra-di-o was my toy.
Lead: /
Doin' the dishes long after midnight,
Talkin' about the evening news with my wife,
The baby wakes up and he starts to cry,
I turn the radio on low for his lullaby.
Plastic, silver nine volt heart,
Click it on and let the music start,
The ra-di-o was my toy,
The ra-di-o was my toy.
The ra-di-o was my toy,
The ra-di-o was my toy.
