"Happiest Song on the Jukebox" Lyrics

(Ben Peters)

Play the happiest song on the jukebox
'Cause that's the way I'm feeling tonight
Play the happiest song and I'll be headin' home
To an angel waitin' there to hold me tight.

I used to think this barroom had become my second home
But now it's just a place to come relax
So here's some dimes for this time play a different kind of song
Bring one more round then I'll be making tracks.

Play the happiest song on the jukebox
'Cause that's the way I'm feeling tonight
Play the happiest song and I'll be headin' home
To an angel waitin' there to hold me tight.

--- Instrumental ---

She doesn't try to change the way that I've been in the past
She loves me just for what I am today
Now I seen much more to life than just the bottom of a glass
Just thought I'd stop and celebrate this way.

Play the happiest song on the jukebox
'Cause that's the way I'm feeling tonight
Play the happiest song and I'll be headin' home
To an angel waitin' there to hold me tight.

To an angel waitin' there to hold me tight...
