Lyrics

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
