Service Station Bumper Lyrics
When your TV needs a fill-up and some service you can see
A quart of something special, come on out to MTV
We brighten up your picture and we send you on your way
So don't forget to turn to us, MTV, today!
A quart of something special, come on out to MTV
We brighten up your picture and we send you on your way
So don't forget to turn to us, MTV, today!
