Transistor Radio
Chords donated by a friend of the page.
^D My baby's got a transistor radio, she takes it everywhere we go,
She takes it when we go out a-walkin', ^E7even to a movie ^A7show.
Well now ^Djust last night in the ^D7pale moonlight I ^Gasked her for a ^Abdimkiss,
But in^Dstead of ^Gbmhearing her ^Dwhisper sweet ^Bmwords of love, ^E7all that I could ^A7hear was ^Dthis.
^A7Last ^Dnight I held her little hand, it made my ^Bmpoor heart ^Emsing, ^A7
It ^Dwas the ^D7sweetest ^Ghand I'd ^E7held, four ^Aaces ^A7and a ^Dking.
All together we're the Chipmunks! (Alvin!)
^D I went 'round to the house where my baby lives to ask her for a date,
There I was a-walking up the garden path a^E7round about half past ^A7eight.
When I ^Dheard a sound made my ^D7poor heart pound, it ^Gstopped me in my ^Abdimstride,
I ^Dseemed to ^Gbmhear the ^Dvoice of a^Bmnother guy ^E7coming ^A7 from in^Dside.
^D I wonder if you're ^A7lonesome tonight,^D I don't ^Gwanna call,
^D ^Bbm Maybe ^Emthat's^A7 'cause ^Dyou're eleven ^Bmfeet tall. ^A7
^D But all ^Bmthe world's a ^Emstage, they say, ^A7I've often ^Dheard that said, ^G
But ^DI don't have ^Bma woo^Emden heart,^A7 I have ^Da wooden head.
^D I'd like to take her transistor radio and throw it in the deep blue sea,
I'm so jealous of her transistor radio ^E7'cause it takes her mind off ^A7me.
I ^Dsaid, "Oh baby, ^D7please be mine, I ^Gwant you for my ^Abdimown,
^DTell me ^Gbmis your ^Dlove for some^Bmbody else, ^E7or is it for ^A7me a^Dlone?" ^D7
^G It's also for Na^A7guyaguki of British Hon^Ddurus,
Am^Bmbango Apple ^B7Durian of New ^EmGuinea,
And Fred ^A7Clockenlocker of British West ^DHartlepool.
^D I swore to her that I would be always true and love her all the while,
And on that oh so happy day in May I ^E7took her down the ^A7aisle.
"Now do you ^Dtake this man to be your ^D7loving husband?" the ^Gpreacher softly ^Abdimsaid,
But ^Dhe never ^Gbmheard you ^Dsay "I ^Bmdo" 'cause ^E7this is what he ^A7heard in^Dstead.
^D Comma comma comma ^Bmadd9yea ^Bmyea, ^D comma comma comma ^Bmadd9yea ^Bmyea.
You ^Dtold me you were ^Bmjust eighteen ^D on the tele^Bmphone,
^G I thought that you meant ^Aeighteen years but ^Gyou meant eighteen ^Astone,
Big fat ^Dmama!
^D We went to spend our honeymoon down on the island of Capri,
I found ourselves a very small hotel as ^E7quiet as could ^A7be.
But ^Dwhen I got up ^D7to our room up^Gon our wedding ^Abdimnight,
^DThis is the ^Gbmsound that ^Dreached my ^Bmears as ^E7I switched ^A7out the ^Dlight.
(Silence)
WOMAN: Darling.
MAN: 'Ere, where's the radio?
WOMAN: Music he wants!
