The Jukebox, Frankie and Me

Story Behind The Song

My wife is a major Sinatra fan (even though we both grew up in the 70's). After years of writing country and pop-rock, this was my attempt at a Frank-esque saloon song.

Song Description

A slow jazzy blues with a lost-love lyric and a tip-of-the-hat to Frank Sinatra

Song Length 3:33 Genre Jazz - Lounge
Lead Vocal Male Vocal Era 2000 and later

Lyrics

Misery loves company
But when the chips are down
And old Sinatra song is still
The best company I've found

"One For My Baby" quietly playing
I'm on a barstool silently swaying
She walked out this morning and left just us three
The Jukebox, Frankie and Me

Three in the morning, no time for sleeping
Dropping in quarters, drinking and weeping
The tables are empty but I've got company
The Jukebox, Frankie and Me

He sings all my heartaches
As each little part breaks
And right from the start takes all of my pain and misery
So we're keeping company, Frank and me

Morning is breaking, I'm finished drinking
Drown one last sorrow, step outside blinking
But I'll save a few quarters for tonight it will be
The Jukebox, Frankie and Me
