little joe

everyone knows everybody else

let's skip introductions

talk on little joe

his mother left for me to mind

a 100 a week

a lovely guy of 26

loves only the lonely

little joe

oh

no here he comes

laughing with an old joke

don't you cry

never do a days work

nothing of value will ever get hurt

joe's no trouble

he ran for mayor

the mafia car bombed my car

i said you're not running for mayor

gave up wishing

took up hoping

hoping joe will settle down

shoe store

a movie house

something like

something like a french comedy

he's patronised by gentle souls

their best intensions are their own

don't you cry

never do a days work

nothing of value will ever get hurt

i've always been a man of the track

took joe down to the track

so here we sit

joe and i

joe and i

little joe

don't you cry

never do a days work

nothing of value will ever get hurt

the whole world

let's get our balance in the mid-night air
