Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear Joe and I've got a right toknow.
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'tso.
They told us that our hero has played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on.
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good ole days are gone.
The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce.
One mans word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce.
Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
We pinned our hopes on you Joe and they're ruining our show.
