Song: Hey Mr. Dj, I thought you said we had a deal
Album: Miscellaneous T
Intro: A E D (x2)
Verse 1:
I could neAver sleep my wEay to the top D
'Cause my alAarm clock always waEkes me right up D
And since my optAions had been whiEttled away D
I struck a barBgain with my radio DEJ
I said I'd liAke this song to bEe number one D
He said "I'd realAly really likeE to help you my Dson"
And then I knAew that I would hEave him to thank D
Because he asBked me how much I had in the baEnk
Pre Chorus:
He said to thAink long tEerm inveDstment and
That all the otF#hers had forgiven theDmselves
He said the nAet reEward would jusDtify
The colF#ossal mess they'd made of their liDves
Verse 2:
He said the record wouldn't have to be hot
And no one ever seemed to care if it's not
It would depend on something else that I've got
And that the other ones who'd given it a shot
Had seen a modest sum grow geometrically
And then they had forgiven themselves
Because the net reward had justified
The colossal mess they'd made of their lives
Chorus:
HAey Mr. DEJ, F#I thought you sEaid we hDad a dEeal
I thAought yEou said, &qDuot;You scratch F#my back Eand I'll scratch yoF#ur record"
And I thoDught you said we hEad a dAeal
Verse 3:
Well, I told you about the world (its address)
I wonder when they're gonna clean up the mess
You know 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 the Disk Jockey has moved out of town
The district courthouse says he's nowhere to be found
Pre Chorus:
Had seen a modest sum grow geometrically and
Then they had forgiven themslves
Because the net reward had justified
the colossial mess they'd made of their lives
Chorus:
Hey Mr. DJ, I thought you said we had a deal
I thought you said, "You scratch my back and I'll scratch your record"
And I thought you said we had a deal
Outro: A E D ( Over and over )
