Lyrics of "Request Line"

Pick up the phone call up the line 
Call up the re-quest line 
Call up the line 
Call up the re-quest line 
Nana nana nananana na na nana nana 
So call up the line 
Get down wit, down wit us 

[Chorus (Macy Gray)]
This is a re-quest Mr. Radio Man 
Just one desire from a hip-hop fan 
Hey DJ (You're on the line girl) 
Hey DJ (On the request line girl) 
Play the record by my favorite band 

I like to hear my favorite song on the radio 
So I called and requested on the radio 
Tell the DJ spin it on the mix show 
Make a brother feel like im down at the disco 
And we gonna keep it going like crisco 
'Cause the DJ grab the record by the fist full 
By the crate full, and we greatful
When you hear the stuff of records get a tasteful
(Last night the DJ saved my life) 
'Cause of the collection of the records he saved 
To the direction of the record we swayed 
And all night through the session we stayed 

'Cause you know you got the feeling 
(All right) 
Good god got the feeling 
(All right) 
Touch the ceiling when I'm feelin 
(All right now) 
And I be feelin 
(All right) 
Dont stop keep it goin now come on 

[Chorus (Macy Gray)]
This is a re-quest Mr. Radio Man 
Just one desire from a hip-hop fan 
Hey DJ (You're on the line girl) 
Hey DJ (On the request line girl) 
Play the record by my favorite band 

Turn table lets bless me on my stereo 
Play my favorite song on my stereo 
Like Macy Gray, Roots, and D'Angelo 
Mos Def, Les Nubians, and De La Soul 
I like them cuts with the soul and original 
Never afraid to be creative on your radio 
Spin my jam when im cruisin down the bario 
Turn my audio up, create a party yo 
(Hey DJ would you play ma song) 
And get ma rock get ma roll get ma hip-hop on 
And (I'm dancin) all day all night 
Gimme some inside, make me feel hot inside
