JoeMy name's Joe, I'm the CEO
Yeah, I'm the man makes the big wheels roll
I'm the hand on the green light switch
You get to famous
I get to be richGo get me a kid with a good-looking face
Bring me a kid can remember his place
Some hungry poet son of a bitch
He gets to be famous
I get to be richOr bring me a girl they're always the best
You put 'em on stage and have 'em undress
Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick
Hey, now that's what I call musicYeah they'll come looking for money when the public gets bored
I will fight 'em with lawyers they could never afford
Yeah I'll make her look like a spoiled little bitch
She gets to be famous
I get to be richOr bring me a girl they're always the best
You put 'em on stage and have 'em undress
Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick
Hey, now that's what I call musicSo burned out Johnny thinks the books are shifty
What good's that alkie to me when he's fifty
Well we could move catalog if he'd only die quicker
Send my regards to the gig and a case of good liquorHe gets to be famous
I get to be richHe gets to be famous
I get to be richMy name's Joe. I'm the ceo
I'm the man makes the big wheels roll.
