Rinky Dink Song Songtext

von David Rovics

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Rinky Dink Song" von David Rovics handelt von einem besonderen Radio- und Sound-System namens "Rinky Dink"...

It's a pedal-powered radio station
It'll fire up your imagination
It's a sound system, it'll make you dance
Might make you jump right outta your pants
Traveling roadshow microphone
With a bicycle seat as the throne
If you see it you'll agree
It's right there on your frequency

It's the Rinky Dink, the Rinky Dink
When you're feeling on the brink
It'll make you laugh, it'll make you think
Talking about that Rinky Dink

The soap's a-bubbling, breeze is blowing
Ain't no telling where it's going
The windmill's swinging with the tribe
It's that day-glo, solar vibe
Stop a riot, it's been done
It'll part the clouds and bring the sun
It don't matter where you've been
Just sit on down and tune right in

It's the Rinky Dink, the Rinky Dink
Just might be the missing link
It'll make you nod, it'll make you wink
Talking about that Rinky Dink

They'll come rolling through your town
You might go up and never come down
It's the cure for air pollution
It's the Rinky Dink solution
Folks'll wonder, folks'll stare
Kids'll jump into their chair
Before they go you know the rub
Put a quid into the tub

It's the Rinky Dink, the Rinky Dink
It'll ease up any kink
It'll make your troubles shrink
Talking about that Rinky Dink

The Rinky Dink, the Rinky Dink
Give those folks something to drink
Turn the pedals, clackity-clink
Talking about that Rinky Dink

Other optional (and stranger) chorus lines:

..It's got it all but the kitchen sink
Ain't no liar, ain't no fink...
..Purple, red, yellow, pink
Steel, wood, rubber, zinc...
