Are you alone now did you lose the monkey
He gave you backaches and now you slouch
He didn't mean it he's just a dumb ape
Reading Playboy on your couch
And now it's time to say
What I forgot to say
Baby, baby, baby, C'mon what's wrong
It's a Radiation Vibe I'm groovin' on
Don't it make you wanna get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Repeat Intro w/Shaft-style wah-wah
Verse II:
I went to Pittsburgh and joined a pro team
Talk about a bad dream I broke my knee
But I can still croon and make the girls swoon
Isn't that the way life's supposed to be
And now it's time to say what I forgot to say
Chorus II:
Baby, baby, baby, C'mon what's wrong
It's a Radiation Vibe I'm groovin' on
Don't it make you wanna get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on, shine ooooon
1/2 verse with "Doo doo doo doo" vocals
And now it's time to say what I forgot to say
Repeat chorus I and II, end on A (let it ring)
