Intro
One, two, three, four, five, six
Verse
Roadrunner, roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
Gonna drive past the Stop 'n' Shop
With the radio on
I'm in love with Massachusetts
And the neon when it's cold outside
And the highway when it's late at night
Got the radio on
Chorus
I'm like the roadrunner
D D A x2
Alright
Verse
I'm in love with modern moonlight
128 when it's dark outside
I'm in love with Massachusetts
I'm in love with the radio on
It helps me from being alone late at night
It helps me from being lonely late at night
I don't feel so bad now in the car
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
Chorus
Like the roadrunner, that's right
D D A x3
Verse
Said welcome to the spirit of 1956
Patient in the bushes next to '57
The highway is your girlfriend as you go by quick
Suburban trees, suburban speed
And it smells like heaven. I say
Roadrunner once
N.C. A A
Roadrunner twice
N.C. E
I'm in love with rock & roll and I'll be out all night
Chorus
Roadrunner, that's right
(Keep playing the pattern until verse]
Verse
Well now
Roadrunner, roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
Gonna drive to the Stop 'n' Shop
With the radio on at night
And me in love with modern moonlight
Me in love with modern rock & roll
Modern girls and modern rock & roll
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
Chorus
Like the roadrunner, okay, now you sing Modern Lovers
Radio On! I got the AM
Radio On! Got the car, got the AM
Radio On! Got the AM sound, got the
Radio On! Got the rockin' modern neon sound
Radio On! I got the car from Massachusetts, got the
Radio On! I got the power of Massachusetts when it's late at night
Radio On! I got the modern sounds of modern Massachusetts
Radio On! I've got the world, got the turnpike, got the
Radio On! I've got the, got the power of the AM
Radio On! Got the, late at night, hit 'em wide, rock & roll late at night
Radio On! The factories and the auto signs got the
Radio On! power of modern sounds
Radio On! Aaalright
Radio On!
Right
Bye bye!
