Jukebox Man

Mel Tillis

(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...
