Dale Mabry - Put Another Quarter (in The Record Machine) songtekst
Je score:
It was a dog-tired Friday night in this honky-tonk I told the bartender, "Cash me out. I'm fixing to go." That's when the jukebox stopped And she walked in I said, "Now, wait a minute, Gary, guess I'll have one more round. And send a whiskey to the woman that just sat herself down." I said, "My name is Dale." She said her name was Lynn. So put another quarter in the record machine This night's a ways from over if you know what I mean So, may I have this dance? Ooh, I'd like to get to know you Us folks don't get the luxuries of love and romance We try to make a living and we get what we can So, may I have this dance? Ooh, I'd like to get to know you I can see it in your eyes you've spent all day on your feet That makes two of us, but baby, there's worse places to be Than dancing in the dark with a man that understands you I don't have to be your lover or your man on the side It don't have to last forever It can just be tonight But come on, don't be shy It's not long until the sunrise So put another quarter in the record machine This night's a ways from over if you know what I mean So, may I have this dance? Ooh, I'd like to get to know you Us folks don't get the luxuries of love and romance We try to make a living and we get what we can So, may I have this dance? Ooh, I'd like to get to know you We got no one to depend on, but folks depending on us They take up all our minutes They take up all our hours They leave us Friday nights and the touches of a stranger But why don't we make the most of it, burn like hungry lovers We live and die alone, but tonight we've got each other And these big strong arms will protect you from all danger So put another quarter in the record machine This night's a ways from over if you know what I mean So, may I have this dance? Ooh, I'd like to get to know you Us folks don't get the luxuries of love and romance We try to make a living and we get what we can So, may I have this dance? Ooh, I'd like to get to know you
