Run Joe |
Loey, Loey, Loey, Loey, Loey |
(Loey, Loey, Loey, Loey, Loey) |
Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey |
(Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey) |
Mo and Joe had a candy store |
Telling fortune behind a door |
Cop grabbed Mo and as Joe ran out |
Brother Mo then began to shout |
(Run Joe!) Eh, de man at de door |
(Run Joe!) He man won’t let me go |
(Run Joe!) Run as fast as you can |
(Run Joe!) Police holding me han' |
(Loey, Loey, Loey, Loey, Loey) |
(Loey, Loey, Loey, Loey, Loey) |
Ask Juanita to stand me bail |
Don’t want to sleep in this rotten jail |
Hide de crystal ball by de fence |
So dey won’t find no evidence |
When you reach home, get in de bed |
Call a doctor and tie your head |
Let Juanita invent a lie |
Got to have a good alibi |
(Run Joe!) Eh, de man at de door |
(Run Joe!) De man won’t let me go |
(Run Joe!) Run as fast as you can |
(Run Joe!) De police holdin' me han' |
(Loey, J/Loey, J/Loey, J/Loey, J/Loey) |
Get a mouthpiece to talk for me |
They’ll sure give me de third degree |
When dey take me before de sarge |
I am going to deny de charge |
When de judge ask me how I plead |
«Not guilty, sir, most decidedly |
You can see, Judge, at a glance |
I’m a victim of circumstance.» |
(Run Joe!) Eh, man at de door |
(Run Joe!) De man won’t let me go |
(Run Joe!) Run as fast as you can |
(Run Joe!) De police holdin' me han' |
(J/Loey, J/Loey, J/Loey, J/Loey, J/Loey) |
(Joey, Joey, Loey, Joey, Joey) |
I’ll be home by de break of day |
If de judge believe what I say |
If he don’t I’ll be lookin' cute |
Behind de bars with me striped suit |
(Run Joe!) Eh, de man at de door |
(Run Joe!) De man 'e won’t let me go |
(Run Joe!) Run as fast as you can |
(Run Joe!) De police holdin' me han' |
(Loey, J/Loey, J/Loey, J/Loey, J/Loey) |
(Loey, J/Loey, J/Loey, J/Loey, J/Loey) |
Me mama told me not long ago |
To keep 'way from that worthless Joe |
If I heard what me momma say |
I wouldn’t be in this mess today |
(Run Joe!) Eh, de man at de door |
(Run Joe!) De man won’t let me go |
(Run Joe!) Run as fast as you can |
(Run Joe!) De police holdin' me han' |
Don’t you hear what I told you? |
(Run Joe!) |
I don’t want you in school (Run Joe!) |
Don’t let de policeman hold you (Run Joe!) |
Di’nt your mamma done told you? |
(Run Joe!) |
Hey, de policeman catching up with Joe |
Joe run too slow, Joe |
