Lyrics: David Rovics. Rinky Dink Song.
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, 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, 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, Rinky Dink
It'll ease up any kink
It'll make your troubles shrink
Talking about that Rinky Dink
The Rinky Dink, Rinky Dink
Give those folks something to drink
Turn the pedals, clackity-clink
Talking about that Rinky Dink
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, 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, 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, Rinky Dink
It'll ease up any kink
It'll make your troubles shrink
Talking about that Rinky Dink
The Rinky Dink, Rinky Dink
Give those folks something to drink
Turn the pedals, clackity-clink
Talking about that Rinky Dink
