I work all day as a soda jerk..on my feet all the time 
 
and oh, man, how they hurt.
D                                           A
Don't make much, but I sure get the news..I don't have 
 
much time for gettin' the blues.
D                                             A
My friends drop in for sodas and pop, they're all talking, 
 
fancy about a new record hop.

and quarters.

Cherry sodas and a chocolate shake, strawberry sundaes and a 
 
lemon phosphate.

Time to clean the fountain, 'cause it's almost five..you know me, 
 
dad, after five I jive.

I wanna jive, uh-huh-huh-huh, I wanna jive..ooo-hooo-hooo-hooo,

Well, I mop the floor and I wipe the counter..I just work here dad, 
 
I'm not the founder.
  D                                          A
I keep a-workin' and a-watchin' the clock..a-peepin' out the window 
 
for my baby to stop.
      E                                                    A
We'll head out of town to a little night dive..because you know me dad, 
 
after five I jive.
