Highway traffic, moving slow.

No way round it, don’tcha know?

Music on the radio,

Won’t you make the traffic go?

Interrupting urgent ads,

Saving me from useless fads,

Music on the radio,

Can’t you make the traffic flow?

Fervent preaching sermonising,

Commentators patronising.

Music on the radio –

I know, I know, I know.

In the mornings, afternoons,

Endless talk by paid buffoons.

Music on the radio,

Please just make the workday go.
