Say something wrong (spend a night in the box)
Stay out to long (spend a night in the box)
Stray out of line (spend a night in the box)
Sway outta time (spend a night in the box)
Veer those eyes at curly blonde locks
Spend a night in the box (spend a night in the box)

She's a beautiful girl and she's dear to me
But there's certain little way thatI gotta be
Like Cool Hand Luke I'm shaking it here
'Boss' she calls and I'm all ears

Straight up and down (spend a night in the box)
She doesn't utter a sound (spend a night in the box)
When she's mad at me (spend a night in the box)
I gotta pay the fee (spend a night in the box)
Like Cool Hand Luke I'm busting rocks
Spend a night in the box (a night in the box)

Stayed up all night and watched Cool Hand Luke
He ate fifty eggs and didn't even puke
My flappin' tongue has sealed my fate
What we got is a failure to communicate

Say her friend is cute (spend a night in the box)
That was beaut' (spend a night in the box)
Forget Valentines day (spend a night in the box)
Have eyes that stray (spend a night in the box)
Where sanity comes and ticks and tocks
Spend a night in the box (a night in the box)
She's a beautiful girl and she's dear to me
But there's certain little way thatI gotta be
Like Cool Hand Luke I'm shaking it here
'Boss' she calls and I'm all ears

Straight up and down (spend a night in the box)
She doesn't utter a sound (spend a night in the box)
When she's mad at me (spend a night in the box)
I gotta pay the fee (spend a night in the box)
Like Cool Hand Luke I'm busting rocks
Spend a night in the box (a night in the box)
