I was walking out to head to work
I opened the door; I felt a jerk
Something suddenly pulled on me
I felt a need instantly
To turn the radio on; play my favorite songs, and now
I'm feeling good; the sun is out
I'm kicking back; I'm hanging out
I'm taking time to lay back
Ease my mind; get off of the tracks
And yea, I got the radio on; it's playing all my favorite songs today
Hookie; I'm playing hookie
Hookie; music hookie
I couldn't let this pass me by
This glorious day; the sunshine
I had to take a little time
To ease back and enjoy my life
And yea, I turned the radio on to hear my favorite songs, and so
I played hookie; hookie
I'm playing hookie; music hookie
I really should be at work
Punch the clock and never shirk
It's what the man pays me for
Be on time and mind the store
Instead, I turned the radio on to hear my favorite songs today
The air is warm; the breeze is soft
The birds are chirping a wistful song
I'm at ease in my rocking chair
Back and forth without a care
And yea, I got the radio on; it's playing all my favorite songs today
Hookie; I'm playing hookie
I'm playing hookie; music hookie
I was walking out to head to work
I opened the door; I felt a jerk
Something suddenly pulled on me
I felt a need instantly
To turn the radio on to play my favorite songs, and now
I'm playing hookie; hookie
I'm playing hookie; music hookie
