Yes, it's time for the Dr. Gobbles Show

There's a tower in the heart of London
With a radio station right at the top
They don't make the city beat
They're making all the action stop

A long time ago there were pirates
Beaming waves from the sea
But now all the stations are silent
'Cos they ain't got government license

Wanna tell your problems
Phone in from your bedsit room
Having trouble with your partner
Let us all on in the news

If you wanna hear a record
Get the word from Aiden Day
He picks all the hits to play
To keep you in your place all day

(Capital Radio)
In tune with nothing
(Capital Radio)
In tune with nothing
(Capital Radio)

(Capital Radio)
(Capital Radio)
Just a-lazing around all day

(Capital Radio)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-bummin' all day
(Capital Radio)
Backstreet a-hear us out
(Capital Radio)
Grab attention go and go against the town

(Capital Radio)
(Capital Radio)
It's such a crime
(Capital Radio)
Is it a game

(Capital Radio)
We ain't got no rights
(Capital Radio)
Slippin' off, slippin' off
(Capital Radio)
Slippin' off, slippin' off
(Capital Radio)
Slippin' off, slippin' off

(Capital Radio)
Don't touch that dial!
Don't touch that dial!
Don't touch that dial!
Don't touch that dial!
