It started on a lonely Friday
 
 The world was gray and overcast again
 
 I couldn't find no one to be my friend
 
  
  Locked the bedroom door as always
 
 Saw my brother's records laying there
 
 And so began a life-long love affair
  
 
 I put the record on the stereo
 
 And though I wasn't quite a Romeo
 
 The loneliness was gone
 
 When I put the record on
 
 And with the spinning of the turn table
 
 I felt a burden lifted from my soul
 
 I saw a new day dawn
 
 When I put the record on
  
 
 Years went by and still I struggled
 
 Lovers lost to what I could not say
 
 Running from the sober light of day
  
 
 But as the world around me crumbled
 
 I heard the sweet and lyrical refrain
 
 Heroes walking homeward through the rain
  
 
 I put the record on the stereo
 
 And though I wasn't quite a Romeo
 
 The loneliness was gone
 
 When I put the record on
 
 And with the spinning of the turn table
 
 I felt a burden lifted from my soul
 
 I saw a new day dawn
 
 When I put the record on
  
 
 And it said:
 
 Shalalalala Shalalalalala
 
 You ain't alone in your sorrow
 
 Shalalalala Shalalalalala
 
 You ain't alone in your pain
 
 Shalalalala Shalalalalala
 
 You'll feel better tomorrow
  
 
 I put the record on the stereo
 
 And though I wasn't quite a Romeo
 
 The loneliness was gone
 
 When I put the record on
 
 And with the spinning of the turn table
 
 I felt a burden lifted from my soul
 
 I saw a new day dawn
 
 When I put the record on
