Wherever you go, whatever you do
'Cause the things they're doing today
Will make a saint out of you
Payola blues.
I've got the payola blues
Even though I already paid my dues.
Listen to me Mr. D. J.,
Hear what I've got to say
If a man is making music,
They ought to let his record play.
Payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.
Well, here's three thousand,
That ought to get it on.
Well, thanks a lot man!
I love your new song.
Payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.
And it goes like this.
I got a brand new record company,
New manager too.
Got a great new record,
I can't get through to you.
Payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.
How about this new Mercedes Benz,
That ought to get it on.
Well, thanks a lot man!
I'll play it all day long.
Payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.
I've got the payola blues, payola blues
I'm paying those payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.
