Put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I want is lovin' you
And music! music! music!
I'd do anything for you
Anything you'd want me to
All I want is kissin' you
And music! music! music!
Closer, my dear, come closer
The nicest part of any melody
Is when you're dancing close to me
So, put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I want is lovin' you
And music! music! music!
REPEAT ALL
SPOKEN: "C'mon, everybody! Put some nickels in! And keep that old
nickelodeon playing!"
Dum-dee-dum dee-dah-dee-dum
Dum-dee-dum dee-dah-dee-dum
Dum-dee-dum dee-dah-dee-dum
And music! music! music!
Dum-dee-dum dee-dah-dee-dum
Dum-dee-dum dee-dah-dee-dum
Dum-dee-dum dee-dah-dee-dum
And music! music! music!
