Mopping up soda pop rickeys To our heart's delight Dancing to swingeroo quickies Jukebox Saturday night Goodman and Kyser and Miller Help to make things bright Mixing hot licks with vanilla Jukebox Saturday night They put nothing past us Me and honey lamb Making one Coke last us Till it's time to scram Money we really don't need bad We make out alright Letting the other guy feed that Jukebox Saturday night After sipping a soda we got a scheme Somebody else plays the record machine It's so easy to say pet names When you listen to the trumpet of Harry James... We love to hear that tenor croon Whenever the Ink Spots sing a tune... If I didn't know why the roses grow Then I wouldn't know why the roses grow... Now listen, honey child If I didn't know all them little things I'm supposed to know Then I sure would be a sad man If I didn't know... Money we really don't need it We make out alright Letting the other guy feed that Jukebox Saturday night
