Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And the caravan is on its way
I can hear the merry gypsies play
Mama, Mama, look at Emma Rose
She's a-playin' with the radio
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 2]
And the caravan is painted red and white
That means everybody's stayin' overnight
And the barefoot gypsy boys round the campfire sing and play
And a woman told us of her ways
Says it, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ta-ta-ta-la-la
[Verse 3]
Turn up your radio and let me, let me, let me hear the song
Switch on your electric light
Now we can get down, what's really wrong
I long to hold you in my arms
So that I can, I can feel you
Sweet lady of the night
I shall reveal you back to the world
[Verse 4]
Turn it up, turn it up, lil' bit higher, radio
Turn it up, that's enough, so you know, it's got soul
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 5]
In the caravan, that's all my friends
Alright, they will stand with me until the end
Gypsy, gypsy, gypsy, gypsy rollin', sweet amber roll
Told me, she told me everything I need to know
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 6]
Turn up your radio and let me, let me, let me, let me hear the song
Switch on your electric light
Then we can get down to what's really wrong
Really wrong, really wrong, really wrong, really wrong
I long just to hold you in my arms
So that I can, I can feel you
Sweet ladies of the night
I shall reveal you back to the world
[Verse 7]
Turn it up, turn it up, lil' bit higher, radio
Turn it up, that's enough, so you know, it's got soul now
So you know, so you know it's got soul, baby
[Verse 8]
So you know, it's got, yeah
[Verse 9]
So you know, it's got soul, yeah
[Verse 10]
So you know, it's got nothing but soul
[Verse 11]
Turn it up now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just one more time
Oh, Lord
Just one more time
So you know it's got nothing
Just one more time
Just one more time
One more
Just one more time
Just one more time
Thank you
