DROP IT JOE
Eddie Curtis

as recorded by
Connie Francis and backing group
with orchestra conducted by Sammy Lowe
1962 


Joe fell in love with a canvas queen,
He dreamed of her night and day.
She had a crush on a record machine
And when he tried to kiss her she'd say;

Drop it Joe, (drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)
Drop it Joe, (drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)
Come on and play this tune for me so I can twist all night!

He bought her a big box of caramel 
And a dozen roses too,
But when he passed the soda shop, he heard her yell,
"Joe, I've been lookin' for you!".

Drop it Joe, (drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)
Drop it Joe, (drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)
Come on and play this tune for me so I can twist all night!

The poor guy was caught in the middle,
It made him feel mighty low,
'Cause he was playin' second fiddle
To a hi-fi stereo!

But Joe wouldn't quit and he finally won,
At least that's the way it seemed!
He married the chick and it really was fun,
Till she made him buy a record machine!

Drop it Joe, (drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)
Drop it Joe, (drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)
Come on and play this tune for me so I can twist all night!

Come on Joe, drop it, drop it!

Joe wouldn't quit and he finally won,
At least that's the way it seemed!
He married the chick and it really was fun,
Till she made him buy a record machine!

Drop it Joe, (drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)
Drop it Joe, (drop a dime in the jukebox Joe)
Come on and play this tune for me so I can dance all night!
(you wanna dance all night?)
So I can twist all night!
(you wanna twist all night!)
Till I feel somethin'!
(you wanna feel somethin'!)
Till I....
