Radios of the world are tuning in tonight, 
Are you on the dial, are you tuned in right? 
One of our D.J.'s is missing. 
Are you listening? 
Are you listening to me? 
Can you hear me? 
Can you hear me clearly? 
Around the dial. 

I've been around the dial so many times, 
But you're not there. 
Somebody tells me that you've been taken off the air. 
Well, you were my favorite D.J., 
Since I can't remember when.

F.M., A.M. where are you? 
You gotta be out there somewhere on the dial. 
On the dial. 

(Are you ready) We're going 'round the dial,

(Are you tuned in) Around the dial, 
(Are you searchin') Around the dial. 
F.M., A.M. where are you?

Where did you go Mr. D.J.? 
Did they take you off the air? 
Was it something that you said to the corporation guys upstairs? 
It wasn't the pressure, 
You never sounded down. 
It couldn't be the ratings, 
You had the best in town. 
Somehow I'm gonna find ya, track you down. 
Gonna keep on searchin', 
Around and around and 'round and 'round... 

(They're searchin') Around the dial, 
(They're listenin') Around the dial, 
(Poor station) The best in town, 
(Poor D.J.) Who never let us down. 
While the critics kept on knocking you, 
You just kept on rocking around the dial. 
Around the dial. 

I've been searchin' for you on my radio. 
This time your station really must have gone underground 
Somebody said you had a minor nervous breakdown. 
Was it something that you
