Lucky are we to be having him

[All]
Just when the future was lookin' grim
[Gloria]
Shoeless joe from hannibal mo.

With arms of steel like hercules
[Boys]
Yeow!

Feet as fleet as mercury's

For us, do right for us

He's shoeless joe from hannibal mo.
Go, go, go, go, go, go

As fresh as listerine
[Gloria]
He sneezed and blew away a calf
His laughter ripped a barn in half
[All]
Go, go, go, go, joe
[Gloria]
Like sevens come, elevens come
[All]
Like manna from the heavens come!
It's shoeless joe from hannibal mo.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
Go like a bat out-a you know where
[Gloria]
Shoeless joe from m.o.
Strike at the foe
Let 'em know you're there

From hannibal moe!
[Boys]
