Juke Box Man

(album: The Great Mel Tillis Sings Walk On, Boy & Other Great Country Hits - 1966)

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 slapping 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 calling me the jukebox man

Well, the dawn is jumping with be bop a do
I'm a putting in nickles it's way past two
A cute little blonde she's a hanging 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 calling me the jukebox man...
