Across the mighty nation, no matter where you go
In every village restaurant at night the movies show
You'll hear the bands a-playing, the top tune of them all
Just drop a nickle in and hear the juke box cannon ball

It started down in Texas, so many years ago
That night somebody sang a tune upon the radio
Now everybody writing from spring until the fall
Then drop a nickle in and hear the juke box cannon ball

Listen to your favourite, whoever he may be
Playing in a swing band or in a symphony
Hillbillies got a crooner this tune has got a ??
Drop a nickle in and hear the juke box cannon ball

Before I take my journey to glory in the sky
I'll bet my bottom dollar before I up and die
And maybe we'll be scheduled in old Carnigie Hall
The evenings main attraction is the juke box cannon ball

Across the mighty nation, no matter where you go
In every village restaurant at night the movies show
You'll hear the bands a-playing, the top tune of them all
Just drop a nickle in and hear the juke box cannon ball...
