Well, to be honest I didn't mind it. Oh, I was sitting back in my chair When a man came on the air And said, well, hello there And, I said, well, hello there But the thing is (but the thing is) Ooh, the thing is (ooh, the thing is) I don't have a radio I don't have a radio But I've got a sister in Crewe I don't have a radio I don't have a radio And I've got a brother there, too. Do you? Interlude That's all for now But before you turn to the other side You can go out With a taste of the music I'll provide There are songs that I've written recently like... (Extract) And some that were written previously Why not hear-Menone.
