Working movie - Joe lyrics

rate me

<br>

You wake at ten<br>

Fold up the bed<br>

You cook an egg<br>

You toast some bread<br>

You think about the day ahead<br>

It's like I said<br>

<br>

You take a walk<br>

You meet a chum<br>

You shoot the bull<br>

You argue some<br>

You lose at gin<br>

Until they come<br>

The dirty bum<br>

<br>

You take a bus<br>

You take a train<br>

It does you good<br>

to use your brain<br>

You take a stroll <br>

Down memory lane<br>

And raisin' cane<br>

<br>

I remember once back in '42<br>

we were at this fair<br>

with these girls we knew<br>

on this crazy ride<br>

where you screamed or you prayed<br>

<br>

we could hardly walk<br>

so we staggered down<br>

for a candy bar<br>

then we sat and laughed<br>

in the penny arcade<br>

<br>

at six o'clock<br>

you watch the news<br>

you get some franks<br>

no big to-do's<br>

you watch a game<br>

you take a snooze<br>

<br>

you change your shirt<br>

and shine your shoes<br>

you shoot some pool <br>

you drink some beer<br>

you find a pal<br>

you bend his ear<br>

the kinda song you never hear<br>

and then you cheer<br>

<br>

i was at adance<br>

i was eventeen<br>

and the girl was like<br>

from a magazine<br>

and the lights wee low<br>

and i really mean low<br>

<br>

and i kissed her cheek<br>

as we waltzed away<br>

i remeber that<br>

like it's yesterday<br>

boy, was i depressed<br>

i can hear her say:<br>

<br>

"joe!"<br>

<br>

they drive you home<br>

from round the block<br>

you take your cash<br>

from out of your sock<br>

you fix teh bed<br>

you check the lock<br>

you wind the clock<br>

<br>

<br>
