Canned Music

Canned music, canned music

Playin' on the radio

Canned music, canned music

Without a dime it doesn't go

Favorites on the jukebox are only half the show

When it's canned music, canned music

A little before she left me

I asked her what it's all about

She said, "I feel like dancin'

I feel like steppin' out"

I took her where the band

Where the band was on the stand

Playin' live music, live music

She got us on the dance floor

To me it was a sight

I never seen my baby movin'

Like the moves she made on me that night

I did not have a chance

The way that music made me dance

It was some live music, live music

It ain't canned music, canned music

Playin' on the radio

It ain't canned music, canned music

Without a dime it doesn't go

Favorites on the jukebox are only half the show

When it's canned music, canned music

The rhythm was all around us

We was really steppin' out

My baby said, "I'm livin' for this music"

I asked her what it's all about

She says, "I'm such a silly girl

This stuff has got me in a whirl

Ain't it live music, live music?"

And that was the night she left me

Danced herself into my memory

My baby had to leave me for the drummer

I guess I'll never solve that mystery

I think I've learned my lesson

Just don't get too near the band

When it's live music, live music

A little before she left me

I asked her what it's all about

She said she feel like dancin'

She feel like steppin' out
