Jukebox Man

(Mel Tillis - Buck Peddy)



I'm gonna get a bunch of nickles gonna buy em by the roll

Gonna put em in the juke and watch the record go

I love to hear the beating of a flat guitar

And a bass, a fiddle slappin' it eight to the bar.



Well, I could sit here and listen to it all night long

It's the ricky ticky rhythm of a jukebox song

But when it comes to music I'm the number one fan

And ev'rybody's callin' me the jukebox man.



Well, the dawn is jumpin' with be bop a do

I'm a puttin' in nickles it's way past two

A cute little blonde she's a hangin' on my arm

But the music from the juke has done got my charm.



Well, I could sit here and listen to it all night long

It's the ricky ticky rhythm of a jukebox song

But when it comes to music I'm the number one fan

And ev'rybody's callin' me the jukebox man...
