LYRICS:

CHORUS:
Grampa, What’s a Jukebox?
I heard it on the radio.
I was listenin’ to a country song
But that’s a word that I don’t know.
Is it some old timey thing
like that record player stuff?
And did you have a jukebox
When you were growing up?

I was playin’ with the grandkids
In the back yard
And along came the oldest girl
Who’s learning to play guitar
She said she had a question
And then she broke my heart

CHORUS:
Grampa, What’s a Jukebox?
I heard it on the radio.
I was listenin’ to a country song
But that’s a word that I don’t know.
Is it some old timey thing
like that record player stuff?
And did you have a jukebox
When you were growing up?

Now sometimes you get a question
That makes you want to hide
“Were you really really sad
When the dinosaurs all died?”
Not knowing about the jukebox
Almost made me cry.

The jukebox is important
To us of a certain age
we have fond memories
Of the music that it played

Three songs for a quarter
Two bucks would last all night
Add french fries and a burger
And man you’ve got it right

CHORUS:
Grampa, What’s a Jukebox?
I heard it on the radio.
I was listenin’ to a country song
But that’s a word that I don’t know.
Is it some old timey thing
like that record player stuff?
And did you have a jukebox
When you were growing up?

Yes it’s true the rainbows
Back then were black and white
But there was nothing like a Jukebox
On a Friday night

Nothing like a Jukebox
On a Friday night
