Craig Carnelia - Joe lyrics

You wake at ten Fold up the bed You cook an egg You toast some bread You think about the day ahead It's like I said You take a walk You meet a chum You shoot the bull You argue some You lose at gin Until they come The dirty bum You take a bus You take a train It does you good To use your brain You take a stroll Down memory lane And raisin' cane I remember once back in '42 We were at this fair With these girls we knew On this crazy ride Where you screamed or you prayed We could hardly walk So we staggered down For a candy bar Then we sat and laughed In the penny arcade At six o'clock You watch the news You get some franks No big to-do's You watch a game You take a snooze You change your shirt And shine your shoes You shoot some pool You drink some beer You find a pal You bend his ear The kinda song you never hear And then you cheer I was at adance I was eventeen And the girl was like From a magazine And the lights wee low And i really mean low And i kissed her cheek As we waltzed away I remeber that Like it's yesterday Boy, was i depressed I can hear her say: "joe!" They drive you home From round the block You take your cash From out of your sock You fix teh bed You check the lock You wind the clock
