lyrics
I keep my beak to the ground, I mind my own business, keep out of the way I try to not make a sound, attract no attention and I'll be okay
See you heading to the corner with your change in hand
You are putting in a quarter for your favourite band
There is something of importance you should understand... oh no!
Step away from the jukebox
‘Cause there's a voice I’ve been trying to hide,
And if you turn on the jukebox
It’s impossible to keep it inside
I can't help but belt the chorus when I hear a song
There is no way to ignore this feeling, it’s too strong, so
Step away from the jukebox,
'Cause it’s got a hold on me
You press play on that song, it ruffles my feathers from somewhere down deep
Try to not hum along, don’t tap my talons and don’t make a peep
So before you start to spend I warn you in advance,
There is no use in pretending like i stand a chance
Once you start it’s never-ending and i’ve got to dance
Step away from the jukebox
There are feelings that I cannot control
And if you turn on the jukebox
there’s no stopping me once I’m on a roll
‘Cause the music has me doing things I can’t explain
Has me flyin’ even higher than an aero-plane, so
Step away from the jukebox,
'Cause it’s got a hold on me
When I was just an egg I could sing better than speak
my classmates used to beg me to shut my little beak
They’d take me down a peg made me feel like a weak little meek little geek, just a squeaky little freak
Step away from the jukebox
‘Cause there's a voice I’ve been trying to hide,
And if you turn on the jukebox
It’s impossible to keep it inside
I can't help but belt the chorus when I hear a song
There is no way to ignore this feeling, it’s too strong, so
Step away from the jukebox,
'Cause it’s got a hold on me
Step away from the jukebox
There are feelings that I cannot control
And if you turn on the jukebox
there’s no stopping me once I’m on a roll
‘Cause the music has me doing things I can’t explain
Has me flyin’ even higher than an aero-plane, so
Step away from the jukebox,
'Cause it’s got a hold on me
