CYNDI LAUPER - Ballad of Cleo & Joe lyrics

rate me

Every mornin' the clock kicks off the beat

Little Joe struggles just to get up on his feet

Waits in his platforms for the right train to come

Sippin' his coffee, another day has begun

Little Joe got work for minimum wage

Tries to get through another dead beat day

At five o'clock he comes home to change

Takes him many hours just to rearrange

And he works his body just to be somebody

There's a woman in the mirror lookin' like a dream

And he works his body and he feels somebody

And the working boy became a dancing queen

Yeah, and he works his body just to be somebody

There's a woman in the mirror lookin' like a dream

And he works his body and he feels somebody

And the working boy becomes a dancing queen, yeah

Every night the DJ kicks off the beat

And little Cleo's jumpin' just to get up on her feet

Waits in her platforms for the right song to come

Sipping her cocktail, another night has begun

And he works his body just to be somebody

There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream

And he works his body and he feels somebody

And the working boy became a dancing queen

Every mornin' the clock kicks off the beat

Little Joe struggles just to get up on his feet

Waits in his platforms for the right train to come
