Pilot of the airwaves 
Here is my request 
You don't have to play it 
But I hope you'll do your best 
I've been listening to your show on the radio 
And you seem like a friend to me 

Or a record of your choice 
I don't mind  
I'd be happy just to hear your voice 
Saying this is for the girl 
Who didn't sign her name 
Yes, she needs a dedication just the same 

Late at night I'm still listening 
Don't waste my time chasing sleep 
People say I look weary 
But that 's just the company I keep 

Ooooh, you make the nighttime race 
Ooooh, I don't need to see your face 
You're sounding good (sounding good) 
Sounding good to me 

Pilot of the airwaves 
Here is my request 
You don't have to play it 
But I hope you'll do your best 
I've been listening to your show on the radio 
And you seem like a friend to me

(Oooooh, I been) listening to your show on the radio 
And you seem like a friend to me 

Oooooh-ooooh-oooooh
Oooooh-ooooh-oooooh
Oooooh-ooooh-oooooh
Play that song for me
Oooooh-ooooh-oooooh
Oh, won't you just play that song for me
