Run Joe |
Mo and Joe had a candy store |
Telling fortune behind a door |
Cops grabbed Mo and as Joe ran out |
Brother Mo then began to shout |
Run Joe, eh de police at de door |
Run Joe and he won’t let me go |
Run Joe, run as fast as you can |
Run Joe de police holding me hang |
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 |
Tell Juanita invent a lie |
Got to have a good alibi |
Go get a mouthpiece to talk for me |
Oh, they’ll sure give me de third degree |
When dey take me before de sarge |
I am going to deny de charge |
If 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 |
Me mommy told me not long ago |
Boy keep away from that no good Joe |
If I do like me momma say |
I wouldn’t be in this trouble today |
I’ll be home by de break of day |
If de judge believe what I say |
And if he don’t I’ll be looking cute |
Behind de bars in me striped suit |
Run Joe |
Run Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe |
Run Joe |
