Lyrics
Seven o'clock and the wall is humming Somebody's radio, the day is coming Bass through the plaster, a little guitar My pillow says stay but my feet say hey I was gonna sleep till the clock said eight Now my toes are tapping, it's far too late Thank you, neighbour, for the radio You turned my morning up, now I'm good to go Thank you, neighbour, play it nice and loud I'm dancing in my slippers, I'm a happy crowd Oh-oh, radio wake-up Oh-oh, radio wake-up Kettle is singing, the curtains are wide Sunshine is spilling on the floor inside I'm doing the shuffle in my socks and my hat Who knew a Monday could sound like that I was gonna sleep till the clock said eight Now my toes are tapping, it's far too late Thank you, neighbour, for the radio You turned my morning up, now I'm good to go Thank you, neighbour, play it nice and loud I'm dancing in my slippers, I'm a happy crowd Oh-oh, radio wake-up Oh-oh, radio wake-up Knock knock on the wall, I'm saying thanks Knock knock back, we're dancing in ranks Two apartments and one good beat Morning's a party down our street Thank you, neighbour, for the radio You turned my morning up, now I'm good to go Thank you, neighbour, play it nice and loud I'm dancing in my slippers, I'm a happy crowd Oh-oh, radio wake-up Oh-oh, radio wake-up Thank you, neighbour, good morning to you
