Moppin‘ up sodapop rickeys
To our heartÂ's delight
Dancin‘ to swingeroo quickies
Jukebox saturday night
Goodman and Kyser and Miller
Help to make things bright
Mixin‘ hot licks with vanilla
Jukebox saturday night
They put nothin‘ past us
Me and honey lamb
Making one Coke last us
Till itÂ's time to scram
Money we really donÂ't need bad,
We make out alright
Lettin‘ the other guy feed that
Jukebox saturday night
After sippin‘ a soda we got a scheme
Somebody else plays the record machine
ItÂ's so easy to say pet names
When you listen to the trumpet of Harry James...
(-Instrumental interlude a la Harry James-)
We love to hear that tenor croon
Whenever the Ink Spots sing a tune...
("The Ink Spots"):
If I didnÂ't know why the roses grow
Then I wouldnÂ't know why the roses grow...
(Spoken)Â Now listen, honey child,
If I didnÂ't know all them little things IÂ'm supposed to know
Then I sure would be a SAD man
If I didnÂ't know...
Money we really donÂ't need it,
We make out alright
Lettin‘ the other guy feed that
Jukebox saturday night!
