He Just Couldn't Resist Her With Her Pocket Transistor
Alma Cogan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh he just couldn't resist her
With her pocket transistor
As it played the hit parade each night.
Oh he just couldn't resist her
With her pocket transistor,
There beneath the moon so big and bright.
He goes wild when she flips that dial!
Yeah-yeah! Yeah-yeah!
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!
Though there's a million girls in town,
Danny lets them all go by!
His heart belongs to only one,
And here's the reason why;
Oh he just couldn't resist her
With her pocket transistor
As it played the hit parade each night.
Oh he just couldn't resist her
With her pocket transistor,
There beneath the moon so big and bright.
I go wild when he flips that dial!
Yeah-yeah! Yeah-yeah!
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!
Now every night when it gets dark,
You know where they will be;
Havin' fun there in the park,
Happy as can be!
Oh he just couldn't resist her
With her pocket transistor
As it played the hit parade each night.
Oh he just couldn't resist her
With her pocket transistor,
There beneath the moon so big and bright.
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!
When they reach a ripe old age,
They will both recall
Just how he fell in love with her,
Radio and all!
Oh he just couldn't resist her
With her pocket transistor
As it played the hit parade each night.
Oh he just couldn't resist her
With her pocket transistor,
There beneath the moon so big and bright.
Oh he just couldn't resist her
With her pocket transistor
As it played the hit parade each night.
Oh he just couldn't resist her
With her pocket transistor,
There beneath the moon so big and bright,
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!

Those days are long gone and now the title should be "She's No Longer a Phony With Her Smart Telephoney"!

If she hadn't died so young (cancer), she might have been the second Mrs. Lennon. He was, to my knowledge, very in love with her.

transistor radio = the original personal electronic device

This was a gigantic hit for Alma in Japan. It was in their charts for over a year.

@shmuli9
This song has more than a passing resemblance to "Itsy-Bitsy Teeny-Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" except the East Germans never totured someone by playing this song over and over (in the film "1-2-3")
@marcuyttenhove9471
