Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will call across Radio America
Right across America I will call
Yes I will call all across Radio America
Right across America I will call
If call I must do
To take my love my love to you
There a lovely young girl on?
I will call
Call you down in New Mexico
In New Brighton and Tokyo
I will call
If call I must do
To take my love my love to you
For well it may hap' that these are they
Your happiest days
Oh my good old friend
I see you chanced your arm again
Red faced president
Took afternoon tea with her majesty the Queen
And they watched old films flicker
Across the old palace movie screen crying
What a shame as she slipped in the rain
The poor dancing girl she won't dance again
And they said it was a transmission
To take my love my love to you

The poor dancing girl she won't dance again
The girl that danced won't dance again
And they said it was a transmission
And they said this was caused by a communication failure
