One, two, three, four, five, six
Roadrunner, roadrunner
Goin' faster miles an hour
Gonna drive past the Stop & Shop
With the radio on
I'm in love with the modern world
Massachusetts when it's late at night
And the neon, when it's cold outside
I got the radio on
Just like the Road Runner
Goin' around the highway
I walked by the Stop & Shop
Then I drove by the Stop & Shop
I liked that much better than walking by the Stop & Shop
'Cause I had the radio on
I felt in touch with the modern world
I felt in love with the modern world
I felt in love with Mattapan and Roslindale
'Cause I had the radio on
I felt like the Road Runner
With the radio on
Now I said hello to the spirit of ol' 1956
It was patient, in the bushes, next to '57
Well, the highway was my only girlfriend, 'cause I went by so quick
And suburban trees were out there, and consequently, it smelled like heaven
So I say roadrunner once, roadrunner twice
We're in love with this feelin' now, and we'll be out all night
Alright, now we can tell them about our love, you men (radio on)
I got the a.m. (radio on)
I got the power, I feel the feelin' now (radio on)
I feel the feelin' and it's feelin' alright, now (radio on)
And I feel in touch with the modern world (radio on)
Okay, let's go, now, Route 128 (radio on)
ย
Oh, yeah
Can you feel it out in Needham, now?
Out in Route 128, by the power lines
It's so exciting there, at night
With the pine trees in the dark
It's so cold, here, in the dark
With 50,000 watts of power
We go by faster miles an hour
With the radio on
Roadrunner, roadrunner (radio on)
Goin' faster miles an hour
I'm gonna drive by the Stop & Shop
With the radio on
See, I'm in love with the modern world
Massachusetts when it's late at night
And the neon, when it's cold outside
You see I have the radio on
Like the Road Runner
Now what do you think about that, you guys? (Radio on)
Good! We got the a.m. (radio on)
I think we got the power, got the magic now (radio on)
We got the feelin' of the modern world (radio on)
We got the feelin' of the modern sound (radio on)
The sound of the modern radio feelin' when it's late at night (radio on)
Got the sound of the modern loneliness when it's cold outside (radio on)
Got the sound of Massachusetts when it's blue and white (radio on)
The sound on Route 128 on the dark and lonely (radio on)
I feel alone in the cold and lonely (radio on)
I feel a-, I feel alone in the cold neon (radio on)
I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel alive, I feel a rockin' modern love (radio on)
I feel a rockin' modern life, I feel a rockin' modern neon modern sound, modern Boston town (radio on)
A modern sound, modern neon, modern miles around (radio on)
I say roadrunner once, I say roadrunner twice, say roadrunner all look very nice (radio on)
Roadrunner gonna go home now, yes (radio on)
Roadrunner go home, oh yes
Roadrunner go home, here we go now
We're gonna drive him home, you guys
ย
Here we go
That's right
Again
Bye-bye
