If I didn't have a dime,and I didn't take the time
            D
To play the juke box
         A                       
Whoa-o-o Saturday night would have been a
E                        A
sad and lonely night for me

And if you weren't standing there 
Ruby lips and golden hair, beside the juke box
Whoa-o-o I'd have lost my chance to 
E                              A  E   A                          
Hold you while you danced with me,umm hum

                  E7
While the records turned and turned
                           A                      A7
We danced and learned, our hearts had yearned for this
E7
Neath the moon we walked and walked and
                    A         E  G#  E7
talked of love, and then...we kiiiissed 

Now with every sweet caress                
Oh my darlin' have I blessed that little juke box
Whoa-o-o love songs that they sing
Wouldn't mean a single thing

Even though you're standing there
Ruby lips and golden hair
If I didn't have a dime and I didn't
Take the time...to play the juke box
