Hello, Mr. DJ(Old Record Speaks) - Sonny Martin
Written by:S. Martin
A country DJ was at the station
Taken out all the records he was gonna play
He was going over the top40 list
All the big hits of the day
A voice seemed to slip into his mind
Its tone was soft and sad
And he found himself listening closer
To the words that it said
Hi Mr. DJ remember me
Now please don't be afraid
I'm just an old country record
The kind that you every seldom played
Why I know you have your playlist
With your top40 songs
I guess I'm out of step
And somehow I don't belong
You may think that I'm old fashioned
With my simple melody
But the roots of country music began with sounds like me
Now don't misunderstand
Please don't get me wrong
Why I'm proud of today is country
And in many places it's gone
They are played in New York City and even in Japan
Why who would it thought that you would go to Tokyo
And hear the sound of a country band
Yeah we don't want you to forget us
We've been around a long long time
Why not give us a spin once in a while
Just for all rings' end
Country music is big now getting bigger every day
But its records like me and the folks that cut us
Open doors and help pave the way
Why some of today's stars travel on their airplanes
And write in air conditioned limousines
But in my time they wrote in old cars
And made their meals on hotdogs and beans
There're still some old timer around
But their records seldom got played in the air
Why if you ask somebody youngster on the top now
They say that it was the old hands that help put them there
And Mr. DJ there're still a lot of folks relying on my simple country sounds
Ah they may not raise much of records
But you can bet that there's a lot of us around
So for their sake and mine
Though we may be a bit out of style
Pour us out dust us often
Gives us a spin once in a while
Well I guess I've taken enough of your time
I see you're due to go on the air
But please Mr. DJ don't forget what I told you
Play an old record in there
That DJ sighed and shook his head
As if has awaken from a dream'
He smiled at the row of old records and thought
How real that voice has seemed
He grabbed an arm full of records and hurried down his way
He opened his show with
Folks we're gonna spin a lot of old country records today
