One two three four five six

Roadrunner roadrunner

Going faster miles an hour

Gonna ride by the Stop-n-Shop

With the radio on

I'm in love with the modern world

I'm in touch I'm a modern girl

New York City when it's late at night

I got the radio on

I'm like a roadrunner yeah



Said hello to the spirit of ol' 1956

It was pacing in the woods next to '57

Well the highway was my only friend

Cuz I went by so quick

Suburban trees were out there

And consequently it smelt like heaven

So I say roadrunner once roadrunner twice

I'm in love with the modern world

So let's go out all night aw



With the radio on got the FM

Radio on got the powerg got the magic

Radio on 50,000 watts of power

Radio on going faster miles an hour

Radio on I feel like a roadrunner Yeah



Can't ya hear it out in Jersey now

New York City when it's late at night

I'm on West Side Highway heading

Up to the G.W. Bridge down by the power lines

I see all the neon and it's cold at night

I got my radio on

It's so exciting here with the skyscrapers

In the dark

I feel in touch with the modern world

I feel in touch I feel alive

With 50,000 watts of power



I got the radio on

Roadrunner roadrunner

Radio on going faster miles an hour

Radio on and then I drove by the Stop-n-Shop

Radio on and I like that much better than

Walking by the Stop-n-Shop
