I was driving through the night 

Into an endless tunnel of fog 

When it dawned on me something was wrong 

I was in a trance, hypnotised 

Bored beyond belief 

I was listening to the same old song 

I know every lick, every word 

Every nuance 

I'm on first name terms with the crew 

But I'd better get used to this poop du jour 

Sure as hell they won't play anything new 

Oh yes I love you really 

Classic Rock Radio 

Oh my dear it's time for bed 

Time for you to go 

Everyone is asleep 

The pirates took to water, stole the charts 

But sadly that didn't go down well with those upstairs 

Who require loyalty 

The establishment considered 

That the uncontrolled appreciation of music 

Was a danger to royalty 

The mighty empire roared 

As Cash 'n' Everett on the high seas 

Looked like they'd get blown out of the water 

They did of course eventually come ashore 

As meek as mice or to be more accurate 

As lambs to the slaughter 

Oh yes I love you really 

I stand to attention 

Oh Fanny, I love you dearly 

Something else I should mention? 

You sweet thing 

Let's not talk about MTV 

I don't even want to start 

I want to take a look at Classic Rock Radio 

We're talking about the state of the art 

Mr Grover 'n' Mr Gillian 

You musta made a million 

The night that Frank Zappa caught on fire 

Could you tell us all about it 

Keep it short and use my version 

Or everyone out there'll think I'm a liar 

We can speak about Bananas for one second 

Just because I understand 

You have to get them off your chest 

But in the meantime while your talking 

Could you do some more of these here ID's 

And then this station might maintain some interest 

Oh yes I love you dearly 

But why do you exist? 

Oh yes I love you really 

Is there something that I missed?
