Payola Blues

This one's for you al freed,

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.
