This one's for you Al Freed,
Wherever you go, whatever you do
'Cause the things they're doing today
Will make a saint out of you
Payola blues.
I've got the payola blues
Even though I already paid my dues.

Listen to me Mr. D.J.,
hear what I've got to say
If a man is making music,
they ought to let his record play.
Payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.

Well, here's three thousand,
that ought to get it on.
Well, thanks a lot man!
I love your new song.
Payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.

And it goes like this.

I got a brand new record company,
new manager too.
Got a great new record,
I can't get through to you.
Payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.

How about this new Mercedes Benz,
that ought to get it on.
Well, thanks a lot man!
I'll play it all day long.
Payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.

I've got the payola blues, payola blues
I'm paying those payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.

I've been walking all night long
My footsteps made me crazy
Baby, you've been gone so long
I'm wonderin' if you'll come home
I'm hopin' that you'll be my baby
I'm wonderin' if I'll be alone
Knowin' that I need you to save me.

I've been talking all day long
To keep my heart from sadness
Baby, you've been gone so long
I'm wonderin' if you'll come home
I'm hopin' that you'll be my baby
I'm wonderin' if I'll be alone
Knowin' that I need you to save me.

I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin',
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin',
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin',
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin'.

Well, I'm knowin'
that I need you to save me
Knowin' that I need you to save me.
Knowin' that I need you to save me.
Knowin' that I need you to save me.
I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin'.

But I'm kinda fonda Wanda.

Well, I went out with Jenny
Took out skinny Minnie
Long tall Sally
And short fat Fanny.
But I'm kinda fonda Wanda.

Did the bop with Miss Ann
The swim with Mary Ann,
The stroll with Betty Lou
Screwed runaround Sue
But she wasn't
as good as Wanda,
No, she'll never be
as good as Wanda.
I'm kinda fonda Wanda.
'Cause Wanda always
wanna, wanna, wanna.
Wanna, wanna, wanna,
wanna, wanna, wanna.

Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry,
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry,
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry.

Well, old man river just keeps on rollin'
On down the line
Like my tears just keep on flowin'
All the time
Can't you hear me cry.

Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry,
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry,
Cry, cry, cry, cry.

Well, somewhere there's a rainbow for me,
I know it's my time
I am getting so tired
Of standing in this light
Can't you hear me cry.

Boo, hoo, hoo, boo, hoo, hoo,
Boo, hoo, hoo, boo, boo, hoo,
Boo, hoo, hoo, cry, cry, cry.

Boo, hoo, hoo, boo, hoo, hoo,
Cry, cry, cry, cry.

When grandma and grandpa
get out on the floor
They rock until they drop
and then they rock some more
Yeah, everybody's rockin',
well, everybody's rockin'
Everybody's rockin',
rockin' to the dancin' beat.

From the shakey city
down to New Orleans
The Golden Gate
to the Bronx and Queens
Everybody's rockin',
yeah, everybody's rockin',
Well, everybody's rockin',
rockin' to the dancin' beat.

When Ronnie and Nancy
do the bop on the lawn
They're rockin' in the White House
all night long.
Everybody's rockin',
everybody's rockin',
Everybody's rockin',
rockin' their blues away.

Everybody's rockin',
rockin' their blues away
Everybody's rockin',
rockin' all night and day.

Everybody's rockin',
everybody's rockin'
Yeah, everybody's rockin',
everybody's rockin'
Everybody's rockin',
rockin' to the dancin' beat.
Everybody's rockin',
dancin' to the rockin' beat.
