The lyrics go something like this.. (forgive me if it's a little off)
I'm just an old jukebox junky
spending my time, spending my money
beatin' this habit with hardcore country
I'm just an old jukebox junky
I can't stand to hear the music stop
I keep dropping my quarters in the slot
I play every song from A-Z
I'm just an old jukebox junky.... Thanks Richard H! I remember that song from a very long time ago, but I never knew who sang it, and haven't heard it in years. Thanks again! Ken Mellons is the singer's name. I've quoted the complete lyrics below, and linked to the CD in the sources section.
(Chorus)
I'm just an ole' jukebox junkie
Spendin' my time, spendin' my money
Feedin' this habit with hardcore country
I'm just an ole' jukebox junkie
I can't stand to hear the music stop
I keep droppin' my quarters in the slot
I play every song from A to Z
I'm just an ole' jukebox junkie
Some are dancin' fools, some are hooked on booze
Some get their fix on an ole' bar stool
A handful of quarters is all I need
It don't take much to satisfy me
(Repeat chorus)
I lose control, I can't say no
I play 'em fast and I play 'em slow
I like the sound that a jukebox makes
It's an ole' habit that I can't break
(Repeat chorus)
I'm just an ole' jukebox junkie
Spendin' my time, spendin' my money
Feedin' this habit with hardcore country
I'm just an ole' jukebox junkie
I'm just an ole' jukebox junkie David Ball. Jerry Lee Lewis
JUKEBOX JUNKY
(Dave Kirby - Danny Morrison)
JERRY LEE LEWIS (ELECTRA RECORDING, 1971)
I said jukebox junky
Play me something funky that really rocks
Well, she's anybody's a-honey
That spends a little money on the old juke box
She plays country, rock n' roll
Depending on the mood she's in
Juke box junky play me something funky, again
She's a little waitress up at Paradise Cafe
She sings a long with any song that she plays
She'll play old rebel the louder the better
Giving Jerry Lee a spin, woo!
Juke box junky, play me something funky, again
Yeah!
(Instrumental & piano solo)
She'll do a little dance ev'rytime the juke box plays
She'll glance a smile at anyone that'll look her way
She makes a scene with the record machine
Gettin' high but what a scene, woo!
Juke box junky, won't ya play me something funky, again?
(Instrumental & guitar solo)
I said a-juke box junky, won't you play me somthing funky
That really rocks?
She's a-anybody's honey that'll spend any money
On the old juke box
She'll play country, rock'n roll (rock)
Depending on the mood she's in, woo!
Juke box junky play me something funky, again
Woo!
(Instrumental fades to end)
