The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so
that's not what i wanna hear, joe and i got the right to know
say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so
i'm sure, they're telling us lies, joe,
please, tell us it ain't so
they told us that our hero has played his trump card
he doesn't know how to go on
we're clinging to his charms and determined smile
but the good old days have gone
the image and the empire may be falling apart
the money has gotten scarce
one man's word held the country together
but the truth is getting fierce
say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so
we've pinned our hopes on you, joe and they're ruining our show
ooh babies, don't you think we're gonna get burned
ooh babies, don't you think we're gonna get burned
we're gonna get turned
we're gonna get learned
we're gonna get burned
we're gonna get learned
say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so
that's not what i wanna hear, joe and i got the right to know
say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so
i'm sure, they're telling us lies, joe,
please, tell us it ain't so
say it ain't so, joe..
