Backstory:

My wife Roberta, who had never written a lyric before, came up with a lyric for me. I also wanted to write something which didn't sound like it was written in the sixties and "Jukebox In My Head" was the result.  Following feedback sessions with a few SongU instructors, I have incorporated some of their suggestions to improve the content.

Lyrics:

                                                  
JUKEBOX IN MY HEAD

Reduced chorus

The jukebox in my head, the jukebox in my head
The jukebox in my head, I can't get it to stop
It just won't go away, it just won't go away
The jukebox in my head, I can't get it to stop

Verse 1

It's 3am and I'm lying in bed
And the jukebox in my head starts playing
It makes its selection, there's no chance of rejection
And it's going to drive me insane (drive me insane)

Chorus

The jukebox in my head, the jukebox in my head
The jukebox in my head, I can't get it to stop
It just won't go away, it just won't go away
The jukebox in my head, I can't get it to stop
There goes another coin, I just hope it won't drop

Verse 2

I should be sleeping but that song is keeping
Going round and round in my mind
It's totally random, just where does it come from
And how can I leave it behind (leave it behind)

Chorus

The jukebox in my head, the jukebox in my head
The jukebox in my head, I can't get it to stop
It just won't go away, it just won't go away
The jukebox in my head, I can't get it to stop
There goes another coin, I just hope it won't drop

Bridge

I try to think of another track
But no matter how I pray
The first one still keeps coming back
And soon it will be a new day

Verse 3

It's 4am and I'm lying in bed
And the jukebox in my head keeps playing
Here comes that line for the 99th time
And I can't get it out of my brain (out of my brain)

Extended chorus

The jukebox in my head, the jukebox in my head
The jukebox in my head, I can't get it to stop
It just won't go away, it just won't go away
The jukebox in my head, I can't get it to stop
There goes another coin, I just hope it won't drop
The jukebox in my head, I can't get it to stop

Coda

Make it stop, make it stop
