Lyrics & Music: Rolf Løvland
Swing music playing all night long on my radio,
all my favorite songs and all my favorite stars.
I'm tunin' in on the local FM stereo,
turn the volume up and play it loud.
But when I come home from school
I find the batteries are gone.
My dad says: "No more radio
'till you turn that damn thing down".
Chorus;
Daddy, please, don't take the radio away from me, oh no.
Daddy, please, don't turn my sunny days to blue.
Daddy, please, don't take the radio away from me, oh no.
I've got a lot of listening left to do.
I just can't go on living without my radio,
without my favorite songs and favorite stars.
What do I do without my FM stereo?
I promise I won't turn it way up loud.
You can take my allowance for a week or two,
make me stay home every night.
l'll do my homework and studdy hard
If you please, daddy, stop this fight.
l'll do anything that you want me to,
l'll do anything that you say.
Chorus;
Daddy, please, don't take the radio away from me, oh no.
Daddy, please, don't tum my sunny days to blue.
Daddy, please, don't take the radio away from me, oh no.
I've got a lot of listening left to do.
Can't you see
'll miss the late night show?
Please, give back
my R-A-D-I-O.
Can't you see
l'll miss the late night show?
So please, give back
my R-A-D-I-O.
Chorus;
Daddy, please, don't take the radio away from me, oh no.
Daddy, please, don't tum my sunny days to blue.
Daddy, please, don't take the radio away from me, oh no.
I've got a lot of listening left to do.
