This ones for you Al Freed,
Wherever you go, whatever you do
Cause the things theyre doing today
Will make a saint out of you
Payola blues.
Ive got the payola blues
Even though I already paid my dues.
Listen to me Mr. D.J.,
hear what Ive 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, heres 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 cant 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!
Ill play it all day long.
Payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.
Ive got the payola blues, payola blues
Im paying those payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio.
