Canned music, canned music
Playin’ on the radio
Canned music, canned music
Without a dime it doesn’t go
Favorites on the jukebox are only half a show
When it’s canned music, canned music
A little before she left me
I asked her what it’s all about
She, I feel like dancin’
I feel like steppin’ out
I took her where the band was on a stand
Playin’ live music, live music
She got us on the dance floor
To me it was a sight
I never seen my baby movin’
Like the moves she made on me that night
I did not have a chance the way
That music made me dance
It was live music, live music
It ain’t canned
*Repeat
The rhythm was all around us
And we was really steppin’ out
My baby said, I’m livin’ for this music
I asked her what it’s all about
She said, I’m such a silly girl
This stuff has got me in a whirl
Ain’t it live music, live music
And that was the night she left me
Danced herself into my memory
My baby had to leave me for the drummer
I guess I’ll never solve that mystery
I think I’ve learned my lesson
Just don’t get too near the band
When it’s live music, live music
A little before she left me
I asked her what it’s all about
She said, she feel like dancin’
Feel like steppin’ out
