Hi-ho the raddio,
raddio, raddio
Hi-ho, the r a d i ohhhh.
The radio, to you!
Where-ever you may go,
you hear a radio.
In a car! At a bar!
Makes no difference where you are!
There's one beside your bed
in every big hotel.
And soon they'll have a radio
in every prison cell!
With radios in taxicabs
the driver's life is sweeter,
because it makes the passenger
forget to read the meter.
They're building model houses now
with one in every room.
A woman shot her husband
to the tune of Love in Bloom!
Hi-ho the radio,
it's time to take a pill.
"You're best friend wouldn't tell you!"
"No, but some announcer will!" ("Yeah!")
Hi-ho the radio,
they play a lovely waltz,
to get you in the mood...
to buy a certain dose of salts!
They give you testimonials
from poets and palookas
with mandolins and violins
and trumpets and bazookas!
Melody and Ballyhoo,
Music, music from the blue!
All this mean is.. notes to you!
R - A - D I - Oooooooh
