Lyrics
Alan:
Hi Alvin, did you get a chance to look over the song?
Alvin:
Yeah! I really like it, I just.
Alan:
Good, 'cause I heard you could be mighty hard to work with.
Alvin:
Who told you that!?!
Alan:
Ah, just about everyone who'd ever worked with ya.
Alvin:
Well it's a lie! They're all just jealous, back-stabbing turkeys!
Theodore:
(Gasp) We are not!
Alvin:
Theodore!
Simon:
Mr. Jackson, I assure you that I am nothing if not professional.
Alan:
Well good, let's get started.
Alvin:
Don't rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some Jones
My heart ain't ready
For the Rolling Stones
I don't feel like rockin'
Since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
Before you drop that quarter
Keep one thing in mind
You got a heart-broke hillbilly
Standing here in line
I've been down and lonely
Ever since she left
Before you punch that number
Could I make one request
Don't rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some Jones
Plus my heart ain't ready
For the Rolling Stones
I don't feel like rockin'
Since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
Alan:
Now you're wrong Simon, Alvin's not hard to work with.
Simon:
The song's not over Mr. Jackson.
Alvin:
Solo time!
Alan:
Alvin, don't rock the jukebox.
Alvin. It's 'bout to explode.
Well, now you've done it.
Alvin:
I ain't got nothin'
Against rock & roll
But when your heart's been broken
You need a song that's slow
Ain't nothin' like a steel guitar
To drown a memory
Before you spend your money baby
Play a song for me
Don't rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some Jones
My heart ain't ready
For the Rolling Stones
I don't feel like rockin'
Since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
Oh brother, what a mess! What are we going to do?
Alan:
What do you mean we? I'm not paying for it.
Alvin:
But, but.
Alan:
Uh-hu. I tried to warn you not to rock the jukebox, but did you listen?
Nooo. Did I listen when people told me you were pig-headed and obstinate?
Noo. I coulda been out on the lake havin' a good time but uh-uh.
Here I am spending my time with a pain in the butt muskrat or squirrel or whatever
