RADIO BOOGIE
As recorded by Hot Rize on "Radio Boogie" (1981).

1. Well, I got me a hat and an old guitar
And I made a down payment on a second-handed car
I got me a job on the radio.
Now I'm savin' up money for a fiddle and a bow.

CHORUS: Do the radio boogie all over the dial.
With a solid kick, and a red-hot lick, it's a Tennessee style.

2. Well, early in the mornin' when the sun comes up,
I pull the cork from the jug and I take a little sup.
If the sun keeps a-shinin' I'll plow some corn.
If it starts to rain, I'll just grind it in the barn.

3. Well, I call my gal on the telephone:
"Whatcha doin', honey? Are ya all alone?
Come on over 'bout an hour or so,
And we'll both do the boogie by the radio."

4. Since I got me a job in a hillbilly band
I got brand-new clothes; I got money to spend;
And everybody asks everywhere we play.
The Radio Boogie's all they can say.

[There was an earlier recording by L. C. Smith, Ralph May and the Southern Mountain Boys, ca. 1952.]
