This One's For You Al Freed,

Wherever You Go, Whatever You Do

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.

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.
