Lyrics:Hey, Mr. DJ, I Thought You Said We Had A Deal (Dial-A-Song Version 2)

I could never sleep my way to the top
'Cause my alarm clock always wakes me right up
And since my options had been whittled away
I struck a bargain with my radio DJ
I said I really wanna be number one
He said 'I really really wanna help you my son'
And then I knew that I would have him to thank
Because he asked me how much I had in the bank

He said to think long term investment and
That all the others had forgiven themselves
They know the net reward would justify
The colossal mess they'd made of their lives

He said the record wouldn't have to be hot
'Cause no one ever seemed to care if it's not
It would depend on something else that I've got
And that everyone who's given it a shot
Has gone and made the world their oyster
And that everybody had forgiven themselves
They know the net reward had justified
The colossal mess they'd made of their lives

Hey Mr. DJ, I thought we had a deal
I thought you said, 'You scratch my back and I'll scratch your record'
And I thought we had a deal
I thought we had a deal

Well, I told you about the world (its address)
I wonder when they're gonna clean up the mess
And the rabid child is still tuning in
Chess piece face's patience must be wearing thin
Because they haven't played this song on the air
Not that anyone but me even cared
And my Disk Jockey has moved out of town
The district courthouse says he's nowhere to be found

He said to think long term investment and
That all the others had forgiven themselves
They know the net reward would justify
The colossal mess they'd made of their lives

Hey Mr. DJ, I thought we had a deal
I thought you said, 'You scratch my back and I'll scratch your record'
And I thought we had a deal
I thought we had a deal
