According to the actor Doug Jones who portrayed the Mac Tonight character for various McDonald’s ads in the late 80’s, there exists an extended version of his song that was played on the radio only. According to him this is why no one really remembers it. It is unknown if any recordings of the radio commercial exist or if there were any other radio commercials made for Mac Tonight. We do have the full lyrics to the ad thanks to him singing it for a fan in this video:

Hopefully one will be uploaded some day...

I feel like the only chance of finding this is if someone recorded the commercial either deliberately or accidentally around the time it aired. I haven’t located any recordings yet unfortunately but I am able to confirm the full lyrics:

When the clock strikes,
Half past 6, Babe,
It's Time to head for Golden Lights!

It's a good time for the great taste,
and great taste means Mac Tonight!

It's time for a Big Mac!
How about a McDLT?
Or those chicken nuggets with those famous fries?

You can drive-thru,
or just walk right in,
to McDonalds! It's Mac Tonight!

It's a Good Time, for the great taste,
Dinner! At McDonalds!
It's Mac Tonight~!
Come on, make it Mac Tonight!
