Watchin' Joey Glow |
| Down here in the shelter, we’ve got everything we need |
| Mom put up her peach preserves, Pa’s got a book to read |
| Sister knits some bandages, and we turn the lights down low |
| And play some Scrabble, watching Joey glow |
| At breakfast Mom hands Joe the bread, and he turns it into toast |
| Last night he hugged a leg of lamb, and soon we had a roast |
| You should see him heat the coffee up when he stirs it with his toe |
| We all get hungry, watching Joey glow |
| You have to wear dark glasses if you stare at him a while |
| Or he’ll fry your little eyes out with his incandescent smile |
| At Chistmastime, it sure felt strange, but it was great to see |
| The way we decorated Joe as if he was our tree |
| And his star was shining brightly underneath the mistletoe |
| So we blew him kisses, watching Joey glow |
| I hope the world’s not over, for my sake and for his |
| I’d love for everyone to know how brilliant Joey is |
| We’ve been down here for six months now, and we’re proud to be alive |
| We owe it to America to sit here and survive |
| So we listen for the static on the short wave radio |
| And count the shock waves, watching Joey glow |
