G        Em        C         D
And the caravan is on it's way
G      Em             C            D
I can hear the merry gypsies play
C     Bm          Am       G
Mama mama look at Emma Rose
C         Bm            Am   G
She's a-playin with the radio
 G   C   G   C   Bm  Am  G
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
 G   C   G   C   Bm  Am  G
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

And the caravan has all my friends
It will stay with me until the end
Gypsy Robin, sweet Emma Rose
Tell me everything I need to know
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la

Chorus:
C    Bm      Am   G C   Bm     Am        G
Turn up your radio  and let me hear the song
C      Bm                Am   G
Switch on your electric light
C                Bm      Am                 G
Then we can get down to what is really wrong
C   Bm     Am       G   C Bm        Am   G
I long to hold you tight  so I can feel you
C      Bm   Am     G    C  Bm      Am     G
Sweet lady of the night I shall reveal you
G C       C Bm          Bm Am                 Am G
Turn it up,  turn it up,    little bit higher
radio
G C        C Bm            Bm Am            Am G
Turn it up,     turn it up,     so you know,
radio
 G   C   G   C   Bm  Am  G
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
 G   C   G   C   Bm  Am  G
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

And the caravan is painted red and white
That means everybody's staying overnight
Barefoot gypsy player round the campfire sing
and play
And a woman tells us of her ways
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la

Chorus:
Turn up your radio and let me hear the song
Switch on your electric light
Then we can get down to what is really wrong
I long just to hold you tight so baby
I can feel you
Sweet lady of the night, I shall reveal you
If you will
Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher, radio
Turn it up, that's enough, so you know it's got soul
Radio, radio, turn it up, hmm
La la la la la la la, la la-la la-la, la la la-la
La, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la
La, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la
La, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la
La, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la
La, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la
La, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la
La, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la
