He bought it for my birthday just one short year ago
This tiny blue transistor radio
We stayed up late and listened to the music soft and low
On the tiny blue transistor radio

And the man at the radio station made the special dedication
To Jimmy and the girl that he loves so
We kissed each other gently as we listened so intently
To the tiny blue transistor radio

[ steel ]
And now just one year later his love for me is gone
He's out tonight with his new love I know
And I just heard them playing the one we called our song
On the tiny blue transistor radio

And the man at the radio station made the special dedication
To Jimmy and the girl that he loves so
Her happy eyes are glistenin' while my sad heart is listenin'
To the tiny blue transistor radio
My tiny blue transistor radio
