Robert Palmer - Top 40

Lyrics

When I make my Top 40

Smash hit

Rock ‘n’ roll record

Everything is gonna be just fine

When I make my Top 40

Smash hit

Rock ‘n’ roll disc

I’ll be the record company’s valentine

No more philosophic melancholia

Eight hundred pounds of electric genitalia

When I make my Top 40

Smash hit

Rock ‘n’ roll record

Everything’s gonna be just fine

When I make my fuzz tone

Wah-wah

Synthesized record

Everything is gonna be just grand

When I make my fuzz tone

Wah-wah

Synthesized disc

I’ll have to get myself a moving van

Costume, hairdo, made up cute

A personal connection in a business suit

When I make my fuzz tone

Wah-wah

Synthesized record

Everything is gonna be just grand

When I make my dynamite

Heavy soul

Freaked out record

Everything is gonna be just swell

When I make my dynamite

Heavy soul

Freaked out disc

I’ll be living it up pell mell

Mountain top hide away

Three-car garage

Out there hustlin’ that sonic massage

When I make my Top 40

Big beat

Heavy soul

Freaked out

Solid gold

Synthesized

Rock ‘n’ roll record

Everything is gonna be just fine
