The Del Lords - Saint Jake Lyrics

Fun City on a Saturday night
My prospects are dim, my wallet is light
Man, this ain't no town to be broke
So I go home and turn on the radio
I'm flipping through the stations getting depressed
When suddenly - Elvis!

The Dj's got Vinnie on the line
"Please play Brother Ray singing Crying Time
Please dedicate it to the one I love
Saint Jake, tell Ann it's her I'm dreaming of"
"Hey, hey Vinnie, you're my man
Your Uncle Jake'll do anything for you that he possibly can"

Rock'n'Roll radio, for goodness sake
Blessed are the faithful
Saint Jake
Saint Jake

All of a sudden I was ten years old
Late at night, in my room, with my radio
I knew those Djs personally
I knew they were talkin' straight to me
I thought those days were dead and gone
But, all is right in the world tonight
When St. Jake's on

Rock'n'Roll radio, for goodness sake
Blessed are the faithful
Saint Jake
Saint Jake

I got lonely for a girl I once knew
I thought, maybe I should call Saint Jake, too
Well I couldn't believe it, but I really got through
Saint Jake says, "Who is this I'm speaking to? "
"Jake, please play, Save The Last Dance For Me
And tell Mary that I love her endlessly"

You may not believe it, but I swear it's true
Today, I'm married to you know who!

Rock'n'Roll radio, for goodness sake
Blessed are the faithful
Saint Jake
Saint Jake
Saint Jake
Saint Jake
Saint Jake
Saint Jake
Saint Jake
Saint Jake
Rock'n'Roll radio, for goodness sake
Blessed are the faithful
Saint Jake
Saint Jake
