Diane Rehm

If you wanna hear 2 hours of stimulating talk
An hour with Mr. Rogers, and an hour about Iraq
There is only one place you have to go
Set your dial on the public radio
She’s the only reason that I turned mine on
And then one day I tried to listen and she’s all gone
Where does she go?
Why won’t they let me know?
She is the best voice on the team
When I’m driving in my car
I always put on NPR
And hope to hear the voice of Diane Rehm
She’s always in the know, and she’s always talkin' slow
Up to date on every current event
Takin' every call, she wouldn’t even stall
If you asked a real, tough question 'bout the government
You can hear her host the show from coast-to-coast
It’s on 10 to 12 eastern standard time
I hear it on stations all across this nation
Even though I haven’t paid them a dime
Where does she go?
Why won’t they let me know?
She is the best voice on the team
When I’m driving in my car
I always put on NPR
And hope to hear the voice of Diane Rehm
One day I caught her show while cruisin' Arizona
She was talkin' about how she suffers from spasmodic dysphonia
Seems she’s got a problem with the sound her voice makes
She’s just resting, and that’s why she takes those long breaks
Where does she go?
Now I finally know
She’s resting the best voice on the team
When I’m driving in my car
I always put on NPR
And hope to hear the voice of Diane Rehm
If I tune into the station, and she’s out on a vacation
I know she’s just getting routine voice treatment
Takin' every call, she wouldn’t even stall
If you asked a real, tough question 'bout the government
I like Fresh Air, and I like Morning Addition
But none of those hosts suffer from her condition
The rest of NPR is like a bunch of clones
Speaking high and mighty in those monotonous drones
Where does she go?
Why won’t they let me know?
She is the best voice on the team
When I’m driving in my car
I always put on NPR
And hope to hear the voice of Diane Rehm
Where does she go?
Now I finally know
She’s resting the best voice on the team
When I’m driving in my car
I always put on NPR
And hope to hear the voice of Diane Rehm
