(Words: J. Oates; Music: J. Oates, D. Hall)


Take your pick of the modulation

Like a kid in a candy store

It's a hand-carry situation

Made for lying on the beach

Or dancin in the streets

You got your pertinent information

Or you can tune in to hear the scores

There's a power in a million stations

You can't ignore


Radio

crank up the power

Radio

rock it for hours and hours

Radio

play it soft and low

Viva la Portable Radio

turn up the power all night


Well I don't wanna hear no static

And I don't wanna hear no jaw

Put them platters on automatic

I cannot get enough

Got to give me more and more

Play some soul for the congregation

Rock n' roll for the kids next door

Charge up your batteries across the nation

Viva la Portable Radio

It's x-static
