(Eddie Curtis)



Joe fell in love with a canvas queen

He dreamed of her night and day

She had a crush on a record machine

And when he tried to kiss her she'd say.



Drop it Joe (drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)

Drop it Joe( drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)

Come on and play this tune for me so I can twist all night.



He bought her a big box of caramel

And a dozen roses too

But when it comes to soda Joe he heard her yet

Hey Joe, I been lookin' for you.



Drop it Joe (drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)

Drop it Joe( drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)

Come on and play this tune for me so I can twist all night.



The poor guy was caught in the middle

It made him feel mighty low

'Cause he was playing second fiddle

To a hi-fi stereo.



But Joe wouldn't quit and he finally won

At least that's the way it seemed

He married the chick and it really was fun

Till she made him buy a record machine.



Drop it Joe (drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)

Drop it Joe( drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)

Come on and play this tune for me so I can twist all night.
