I've been a music fan as long as I remember
And I love songs of every shape and size
But for me there is an era that just stands above the others
So come with me and let's go back in time
In nineteen-seventy the Beatles gave us LET IT BE
And closed the book on something we all loved
But they opened up the floodgates of a whole new generation
And man I'd say that we're the lucky ones
Cuz John Denver had us high on a mountain
Clapton taught us how to play guitar
Crosby, Stills, and Nash told us to teach our children well
And Elvis proved that he was still a star
Oh, could somebody please bring back the seventies
When country, rock, and disco were my friends
Oh, could somebody please bring back the seventies
I wanna love my radio again
Billy and Elton taught me how to pound the ivories
Chicago introduced me to the brass
Joni Mitchell had me grounded in a state of meditation
And Alice Cooper always kicked some ass
Pink Floyd and Genesis were always avant-garde
The Doobie Brothers kept it all main stream
Skynyrd and the Eagles put some country in their rock
And Waylon put some rock in his country
Oh, could somebody please bring back the seventies
When country, rock, and disco were my friends
Oh, could somebody please bring back the seventies
I wanna love my radio again
The BeeGee's had us talking jive and dancing every night
George Clinton showed us how to bring the funk
And when the Rock'n'Roll all got too serious and soft
Iggy Pop came by and gave us punk
Oh, could somebody please bring back the seventies
When country, rock, and disco were my friends
Oh, could somebody please bring back the seventies
I wanna love my radio again
Oh, could somebody please bring back the seventies
I wanna love my radio again
