Juke Box Cannonball

(album: Everyone Can Rock And Roll - 1979)

'Cross the mighty nation
No matter where you go
In every village restaurant
And at the movie show
You'll hear the bands a playing
The top tune of them all
Just drop a nickel in
And hear the jukebox cannonball

It started down in Texas
So many years ago
And then somebody sang the tune
Upon the radio
Now everybody rides it
From spring to early fall
Then drop a nickel in
And hear the jukebox cannonball

Listen to your favorite
Whoever he may be
I'm playing in a swing band
Or in a symphony
Hillybilly scatter crooner
This tune has got to fall
Then drop a nickel in
And hear the jukebox cannonball

Before I take my journey
To glory in the sky
I'll bet my bottom dollar
That before I up and die
A day will be scheduled
In old Carnegie Hall
The evening's main attraction
Is the jukebox cannonball

Across the mighty nation
No matter where you go
In every village restaurant
And at the movie show
You'll hear the bands a playing
The top tune of them all
Drop a nickel in
And hear the jukebox cannonball
