Compilation Album "Joyful Jukebox Music" (1976)

Joyful Jukebox Music





Give me some joyful jukebox music
And some genuine alligator shoes
Give me a chevolet car and a honkytonk bar
It's a rhythm that I can't refuse

Give me a quarter for that jukebox
So I can play my favorite song
Give me a touch of the past so we can bop so fast
And everybody sing along

[1st chorus:]
Are you ready (are you ready)
Are you ready (are you ready)
Remember how to rock n' roll
Are you ready (are you ready)
Ready (are you ready)
To boogie down and lose control

Play that record again for me
The one with the rock n' roll melody
Just make me a believer in rock n' roll fever
And bring back the memories

[2nd chorus:]
Remember when you saw the beatles
And heard the music of the rolling stones
Well baby we'll be rollin' in at seven in a make believe heaven
The good ol' days have aged my bones

[1st chorus]

Are you ready (are you ready)
Are you ready (are you ready)
Remember how to rock n' roll
Just make me a believer in rock n' roll fever
And bring back the memories, oh yeah

One more time
Give some joyful jukebox music
That gets me out on the dancin' floor
Give me a saturday night to hold my baby tight
And watch me shake it up once more

[2nd chorus]

[1st chorus]

Window Shopping




[Chorus:]
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
You saw me, control me
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try

I thought I had my game up tight
But with you I couldn't play tI right
I pretended to be ice cold
But inside my temperature rose, oh yeah

Hoo [11x]
I tried and I tried but I can't resist

[Chorus]

To think that I once boasted around
No ones arms could ever tie me down
But you've changed my point of view
And now I'm trying to tie a knot onto you, oh baby

Hoo [11x]
I was selling to the buyer until I met you

[Chorus]

You're priceless merchandise
Precious merchandise
You saw me, control me

[Chorus]

You're My Best Friend, My Love




When I need more than love
You are the one that I run to
When just words aren't enough
You know exactly what to do

And every time I need someone
To turn my upside down back up
You're always there
I'm so glad you care

[Chorus:]
You're my best friend, my love, my love
You're my best friend, my love
My love you are my best friend

You're my warm when it's cold
You are my sunshine when it rains
And if the rain turns to snow
We'll still be on that friendship train

Cause if our love affair should end (if our love affair should end)
I know I'll never find a friend
As great as you
Girl, I'm glad it's true

[Chorus]

Ooh, you're my best friend
Girl there'll be no other
You're my friend and lover
(you're my best friend)
Don't you know I love ya
You're my friend and lover
Ooh, ooh girl there will always be someone to love ya
Someone who can love ya
(you're my best friend)
Yes you are
Yes you're my friend and lover
Girl there'll be no other
(you're my best friend)
I'll be yours forever
You and me together

Love Is The Thing You Need




(Love is the thing you need)

Ooh, I know a fortune teller
A very freaky fella
How 'bout you like me to tell ya
(Love is the thing you need) Let me say now

A family physician
Gave me a prescription
For a nice disposition
(Love is the thing you need)

So, when all your frustrations
Don't receive no medication
How bad you feel
Oh, it's just unreal
Oh, you can't get no satisfaction
When your mind is overacting
And you don't give your self the love you need

(So get on up)
And get down, down, down
With some good ol' funky, funky love
(Love is the thing you need) Fellas
(Love is the thing you need) Ah, hit it,

Make you feel so good
Make your body shake like crazy
Give yourself a get and go, yeah
(Love is the thing you need) The midnight hour

(Love is the thing you need) (Love is the thing you need)
(Love is the thing you need) Sing it again
(Love is the thing you need) (Love is the thing you need)
When that somebody finds you down (Love is the thing you need)
Love comes up from underground (Love is the thing you need)

Oh, love (Oh, love)
Yeah, some people they don't know
That it's the only way to go
If you wanna live a happy, happy life yeah, yeah

Oh, there ain't no doubt about it
We just can't live without it
No we can't, no we can't
Sing it to me children

(Love is the thing you need) One more time, yeah
(Love is the thing you need) Sing it, yeah,
Once a day, twice a day, everyday
(Love is the thing you need) What you say now
Once a day, twice a day, good God, everyday
(Love is the thing you need) You gotta, gotta have love
You gotta, gotta have love
You gotta, gotta have love
Y'all know what I'm talkin' about (Love is the thing you need)
You gotta, gotta have love
You gotta, gotta have love
You gotta, gotta have love (Love is the thing you need)
Don't you stop, don't you stop

The Eternal Light




Mother earth told the people
That the cold nights can be warm
Just get along with your brother
(it's the shelter from the storm)

If you're standing in the sunshine
But still out in the rain
Let your heart strike a match
(cause love lights the flame)

[Chorus:]
Let it shine so bright
The eternal light
Let it burn forever and ever
Let love bring us together
Let it shine so bright
The eternal light
Let us join our hands together
Make a chain that bonds forever

Motionless people gather dust
Stand in the rain and you'll rust

Let's try to show compassion
It's the time for us to learn
There will be a better tomorrow
Our reward is love in return

[Chorus]

Pride And Joy





You are my pride and joy
And I just love you, little darlin'
Like a baby boy loves his toy
You've got kisses sweeter than honey
And I work every day to give you all I know
And that's why you're my pride and joy

And I'm tellin' the world
You're my (pride and joy) pride and joy (pride and joy)
I believe I'm no (baby boy) baby boy (baby boy)
But I know you're mine (pride and joy)
My pride and joy (pride and joy)
Yeah baby (baby boy) Yeah baby (baby boy)

You, you are my pride and joy
And a love like mine, yeah baby
Is something nobody can ever destroy
You pick me up (pick me up) when I'm down (when I'm down)
And when we go out, pretty baby
You shake up the whole town (whole town)
And that's why (that's why)
I believe you're my (you're my) pride and joy (pride and joy)

[Repeat and fade:]
(Pride and joy) [4x] (baby boy) [2x]
(Pride and joy) My pride and joy (pride and joy)
And I love you like a baby loves his toy (pride and joy)

Through Thick And Thin




Through thick and thin
I will always love you
Through thick and thin
I'm always thinkin' of you

Today did I forget
To say I love you girl (I'm sorry)
Hey, don't scold me yet
I'll prove it a hundred ways (don't worry)

In this world of ups and downs
Baby you're the one, the thing I found
You saved me from a place we both had been
Called lonely (lonely)

Through thick and thin
I will always love you
Through thick and thin
I'm always thinkin' of you

When things aren't going right
I'll hold you in my arms (don't worry)
You know you make me cry
If ever I let you down (I'm sorry)

Well I'm going to prove my love to you
Each day that I live my life with you
Through good and bad weather
We're together (together)

Through thick and thin
I will always love you
Through thick and thin
I'm always thinkin' of you

We're Here To Entertain You




When we were tiny little boys
We use to dance, we use to sing
Before we even learned to crawl or walk

As we grew up we didn't change
I guess we knew right from the start
We'd loved the spotlight and the stage
Cause we were born to entertain

And when we walk out on the stage
The way we feel deep inside
Is something magic when the music starts to play

We wanna bring a little happiness and love into your lives
Forget about your problems and your troubles for a little while

We're here to entertain you
On stage right now
We're here to entertain you
Right here, right now
We like to dance, we like to sing
And do our thing
We like to dance, we like to sing
We like to do our thing

There's no business
Like show business
There's no business
Like show business

We're here to entertain you
On stage right now
We're here to entertain you
Right here, right now
On stage right now
Right here, right now
On stage right now

Make Tonight All Mine




Ooh baby now, I've been watchin' you girl
When you dance you steal the show
Just like you stole my heart...
When the lights were low
All the guys are waiting
Pleading just to hold you tight
Oh, darling no no no please not tonight

Gonna 'lectrify you

Show you I can do it

I've been walkin' like a shadow,
Right behind you by myself
While you've been walking home
With someone else
Don't you know it hurts me,
Seeing you with other guys
Oh, darling no no no please not tonight

When the party's over, let me walk you home
I'll hold you close
Rock you slow
Never, never let you go
