Lyrics
My Sony Radio
by Wilfred Kozub
When I was in England and on my way to Spain
I landed in Andorra to get out of the rain
? bought a little Sony and I called it mine
Put it on my shoulder, it?s with me all the time
And I listen softly to hear
The sound of music comes in so clear
From all around the world
When I?m on a holiday or I?m right here at home
I tune into London and listen for a trend
?Cause the latest version is coming to an end
Turn the dial to Paris, I do a little dance
To a bossa nova ? or some Latin Jazz
I love to hear the way that they speak
Whether it?s Italian or Greek
It doesn?t matter, I just go with the rhythm and the flow
On my Sony Radio
Come in Rio . . . calling Tokyo . . . Monte Carlo . . . Pirate Radio!
Whether on the shortwave or the medium band
The weather or a talk show ? I?m a major fan
Radio, it?s fillin? my time
And it?s such a good friend of mine
I?m never all alone ? with the rhythm and the flow
Of my Sony radio . . . my radio
Sony radio . . . Sony radio . . . my Sony radio
