Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
There's a
C 
G 
disc jockey in Hartlandburg
D 
G 
Who works at W -A -N -T
C 
He puts two or three eggs in him
G 
D 
G 
and he's in your car by 6 a .m.
He lives for his job
C 
G 
and he accepts his pay.
You can call and request lay,
D 
G 
lay, delay.
He'll play Stanley, Jordan,
C 
G 
U2, and Little B.
And he'll even play the band
D 
G 
from the college down the street.
C 
G 
D 
And his name is Rex Bob Loewenstein.
G 
C 
G 
D 
He's 47 going on 16
G 
C 
G 
His request line's open
D 
Em 
but he'll tell you where to go
C 
G 
If you're dumb enough to ask him
D 
G 
why he plays like snow
C 
He tries to keep his talking to a minimum
G 
D 
He's a Democrat, he's a Republican
G 
He's an Edman with a great voice,
C 
say so
G 
But when he spins those records,
D 
G 
he's neither one
He'll talk to the truckers
C 
on the in terstate strip
G 
D 
The housewife and the car dealership
G 
And when his second wife
C 
left him for a paper millionaire
G 
D 
G 
He cried unashamedly right on the air
C 
G 
D 
And his name is Rex Bob Lowenstein
G 
C 
D 
He's 47 going on 16
G 
C 
G 
His request line's open,
D 
Em 
but he makes no bones
C 
G 
About why he plays Madonna
D 
G 
after George Jones
C 
Now one day a man in a pinstripe suit
G 
Took the owner of the station
D 
G 
to a restaurant booth
His pitch was simple,
C 
G 
you'll increase your sales
If you only play the song list
D 
G 
that we send you in the mail
C 
He guaranteed a larger audience,
G 
D 
G 
less confusion and higher points
But your dry -out time jock
C 
won't get to do his thing
G 
Hey, he's not half bad,
D 
G 
tell me what's his name
C 
G 
D 
Well, his name is Rex Bob Lowenstein
G 
C 
He's frequently heard,
G 
D 
G 
but he's seldom seen
C 
G 
His formula's simple and
D 
Em 
his format's big
C 
G 
I'd just play it, you'd call
D 
G 
and tell me what you'd dig
C 
Now Rex, Bob, David saw Lowenstein
G 
Quit his job a week later,
D 
G 
but before he'd leave
C 
He locked and bolted the control room door
G 
And played smash and trash
D 
G 
until they cuffed him on the floor
They dragged him into court
C 
G 
and the judge said, Rex,
I've got to lock you up
D 
G 
for what I'm not sure yet
But your boss here says he thinks
C 
G 
you're wrapped too tight
But by the way,
D 
G 
thanks for playing Moon River last night
C 
G 
D 
And his name is Rex Bob Lowenstein
G 
C 
And he's the bell and frame
G 
D 
inside a tambourine
G 
C 
And he could play it all
G 
D 
Em 
if he was just set free
C 
To find out what the people
G 
D 
W  -A -N -T
G 
C 
G 
Just to find out what the people
D 
W -A -N -T
G 
C 
G 
Just to find out what the people
D 
G 
W -A -N -T
