Everyone knows everybody else

Let's skip introductions

Talk on little Joe

His mother left for me to mind

a 100 a week

A lovely guy of 26

loves only the lonely

little Joe

Oh no here he comes

laughing with an old joke

Don't you cry

never do a days work

nothing of value will ever get hurt

Joes no trouble he ran for mayor

The mafia car bombed my car

I said you're not running for mayor

Gave up wishing

took up hoping

hoping Joe will settle down

Shoe store

a movie house

something like

something like a french comedy

He's patronised by gentle souls

their best intensions are their own

Don't you cry

never do a days work

nothing of value will ever get hurt

I've always been a man of the track

took Joe down to the track

So here we sit

Joe and I

Joe and I

Little Joe

Don't you cry

never do a days work

nothing of value will ever get hurt

The whole world

lets get our balance in the mid-night air
