description Original manuscript for a duet. The musical notes and words are in pencil. The words are from Kenneth Fearing's poem "King Juke". Vocal, Piano9 pages; 8 1/2 x 11With its throat of brass, the juke-box eats live nickels raw; It can turn itself on or shut itself off; It has no hangovers, knows no regrets, and it never feels the need for sleep. Can you do that Can you do that Can you do that What can you do that a juke-box can’t, and do it ten times better than you And it hammers at your nerves and stabs you through the heart and beats upon your soul But can you do that to the box Its resourceful mind, filled with thoughts that range from love to grief, from the gutter to the stars from pole to pole Can seize its thoughts between the fingers of steel Begin them at the start and follow them through in an orderly fashion to the very end Can you do that Can you do that And what can you say that a juke-box can’t and say it in a clearer louder voice than yours? What have you got, a juke-box hasn’t got? What have you got, a juke-box hasn’t got? Well, a juke-box has no ears they say The box, it is believed, cannot even hear itself It simply has no ears at all It simply has no ears at all It simply has no ears no ears at all it has no ears no ears at all at all
