Jill Sobule - Joey lyrics

Joey, Joey... Joey was the IT girl at just fifteen She had short blonde hair that was slightly teased She made the older men sweat when she dance on TV Doing the frug, doing the monkey Joey got a start in the night club scene Even though she studied ballet under Valenschein She could take a swan dive if you know what I mean Doing the Jerk and the Watusi Joey... Joey had a spot on Dean Martin's Show She even went to show in a USO She fell in love with a famous football rogue They liked to Jerk, they like to monkey All she ever wanted was your love and respect (she ever) Isn't that the same thing that we all want, Joey, Joey I remember Joey in a mattress ad I guess around this time is when things got bad And her husband got arrested she look so sad Doing the frug, doing the pony (yeah, yeah) Yesterday in line at the A&P I saw Joey on the back of star magazine They said she's using again and she still won't be She's got the Jerk, she's got the monkey All she ever wanted was your love and respect (she ever) You can stay at my place if you want to, Joey Joey, Joey, Joey...
