Radio, remember Radio?

We'd sit and close our eyes, and use our imagination.

Comedy,  Mystery,  A fireside chat;
Together we sat, while list'nin' nitely to our fav'rite show.

Radio, why did you ever go?

Oh won't you please come back and entertain us.
I long to turn that dial again, and hear the past and smile again,

Radio, I miss you so.

 

Major Bowes, I miss The Shadow Knows,

Fred Allen's Alley Folks, the laughter from Duffy's Tavern,

Helen Trent, then we went to Can You Top This?

Suspense and the Whistler would send those shivers up our spine.

Uncle Don, I wish you still were on,

Jack Armstrong, Murt and Marge, Amos 'n' Andy.

I long to turn that dial again and hear the past and smile again,

Radio, I miss you so.
