Killer Joe (From "The Terminal") |
This here’s the story about Killer Joe |
He’s a real bad cat, 'forget I told you so |
Silk on the corners of his fancy threads |
double breasted pin stripe coat top press |
fast talkin' good looking flim flam jive |
why he’s the kind o' cat that’ll make a dead man cry |
so look out for Killer Joe! |
Killer Joe — Killer Joe |
Killer Joe — love dough |
[Répéter) |
Love of gold |
Has made him very cold [Répéter Top) |
I hit the big town an’he turned me roun' |
He dazzled me with some pretty jive |
prettier jive than I’ve ever heard from |
any man alive |
He called me «Baby,» 'n «Honey» |
Messed wit m’head, tol' me he’d show me |
a whole mess o’money |
An' what did I get? |
That’s somethin' I ain’t figured out yet |
Each woman I meet is like a bead |
that’s strung on a string |
an' I wear 'em like I’m wearin' a necklace |
Women love me, n’think lots of me |
Really! |
How can they be so reckless |
I tell 'em in front, that I do love money |
So — later on — then they won’t get funny |
When I tighten up an' the scene gets heavy |
times when I laugh they’re over, |
now they’re gonna' feel a draf' |
Tell y’truth, if y’mus know |
Only thing can save y’is t’bring me lots o’dough |
(Background) |
Poor girl — Pity the hick |
Poor girl — Man, is he slick |
Poor girl — Pity the poor chick |
Stars were peepin' low |
An' man dud she have eyes for that Joe |
'N Joe was jivin' with all of his lies |
She felt he must o’meant it |
Boy, the chick was in f’some surprise |
Yep! |
'N Joe ain' 'bout t’let 'er slide |
Git’er t’flyin' high 'n wide |
Then goof her carpet ride |
She was cute, he had class |
Y’knew he had 'er soon s’h |
e made his pass |
(Background) |
(That's Joe!) |
Big cities are jungles an' men’re like leopards |
An' women are lost lambs who’ve |
strayed from kep' herds |
An' them leopards — are real wolves |
Actin' jus' like shepherds |
Look out! |
Joe got his hook out |
He’s lookin' so han’some |
Guaranteed trouble |
Y’think you c’n stan' some |
He’ll furnish it double |
So look out |
