Drop a nickel in the jukebox
Turn up the radio
Let the needle in the shallow groove run slow
Play the music loud
Play it wild and high
Play the music loud tonight
Play only, play only
Play only a lonely one
Play only, play only
Play only a lonely one
Well, a new day is dying
And a new night is born
While lovers are sighing
Singing a happy song
When old Cupid
Throws a million arrows
Oh yes indeed, me and my shadows
Play only, play only
Play only a lonely one
Play only, play only
Play only a lonely one
An old love I'm remembering
I'm raising up my glass
To the joys and the sufferings
I want to reminisce
Play only, play only
Play only a lonely one
Play only, play only
Play only a lonely one
