Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Drop a nickel in the jukebox, turn off the radio
Let the needle in the shallow groove run slow
Play the music loud, play it wild and high
Play the music loud tonight

[Chorus]
But play only, play only, only a lonely one (x2)

[Verse 2]
A new day is dying, a new night is born
While lovers are sighing, singing a happy song
When old Cupid throws millions arrows
Oh yes indeed, me and my shadow

[Chorus]
Play only, play only, only a lonely one (x2)

[Outro]
An old love I'm remembering, I'm raising up my glass
To the joys and the sufferings I wanna reminisce

[Verse 3]
Drop a nickel in the jukebox, turn off the radio
Let the needle in the shallow groove run slow
Play the music loud, play it wild and high
Play the music loud tonight

[Chorus]
But play only, play only, only a lonely one (x2)
