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
