I'm a radio joe of the biz called show

I'm a rockin' pop star with a get up and go

Rubbin' elbows with the big wigs at my sold out shows

I've been on every cover, even Rolling Stone

Put us on MTV

All we really need

Begging on our knees

Please, please, please, please, please

Conformin' to the norm straight out of the mold

Compromisin' each and every ounce of soul

I'm a-doin' anything for the records of gold

I only want what I can hold

Put us on MTV

All we really need

Begging on our knees

Please, please, please, please, please

We know that we'll never be better than

Mister slick superstar David Letterman

I promise we're perfect gentlemen

Just put us on the show, you'll regret us then

Put us on MTV

All we really need

Begging on our knees

Please, please, please, please, please

Thank you very much! Be sure to label us

We wouldn't want to cause a ruckus or a fuss

Just put us in a category, if you must

AOR, CHR, Top Forty or Bust

Put us on MTV

All we really need

Begging on our knees

Please, please, please, please, please

Go, Arnito!

What I am is a picture on the TV screen

Don't make waves, don't make a scene

What I say when I play isn't worth a bean

I'm a video joe in an industry

Put us on MTV

All we really need

Begging on our knees

Please, please, please, please, please
