lyrics

tell everyone that you meet
you're going down on the beach
with your transistor radio

cause it's making you smile
with your hands on the dial
of your Transistor Radio

when i'm walking down the street
i never miss a beat
with my transistor radio

YEAH! YEAH!

i know all the hot-shots
storming up the pop charts
transistor radio

TRANSISTOR RADIO!

what's that in your jeans?
is it something obscene or a transistor radio?

YEAH! YEAH!

playing with the tone
when i first heard the Ramones
on a transistor radio

my baby told me it's the FM
frequency i need tonight
my baby told me it's the AM
wavelength that will see me right

cause baby all I need tonight is my transistor radio
cause baby all I need tonight is my transistor radio
cause baby all I need tonight is my transistor radio
cause baby all I need tonight is my transistor radio

tell everyone that you meet
you're going down on the beach
with your transistor radio

(TRANSISTOR RADIO)

cause it's making you smile
with your hands on the dial
of your transistor radio

hey i'm getting all the news
that is going round the world
on my transistor radio

YEAH! YEAH!

i'm listening to the boys
and i'm listening to the girls
on transistor radio

TRANSISTOR RADIO!

i never feel complete
when i'm walking down the street
without my transistor radio

YEAH! YEAH!

playing with the tone
when i first heard the Ramones
on a transistor radio

my baby told me it's the FM
frequency I need tonight
My baby told me it's the AM
wavelength that will see me right

cause baby all I need tonight is my transistor radio
cause baby all I need tonight is my transistor radio
cause baby all I need tonight is my transistor radio
cause baby all I need tonight is my transistor radio
