Sleepy Joe lyrics

Sleepy Joe

Sleepy Joe

Rise and shine sleepy Joe

Now's the time don't you know

To get into a new kind of dream

You've been living alone

With no Bell telephone

And you don't have a shirt that is clean

You can rest your head on the corner of your bed

You can watch the world go by

But you never gonna see

What the other people see

If you're always gonna be a sleepy Joe

Rise and shine, sleepy Joe

There are places to go

There are windows to clean on the way

You've got nothing to loose

But the shine on your shoes

Do the best things you can every day

You can get upset at the way the people get

You can turn your back on the crowd

But you never gonna see

What is absolutely real

If you're always gonna be a sleepy Joe

(La la la la la) sleepy Joe

Rise and shine, sleepy Joe

Now's the time, don't you know

To get into a new kind of dream

You've been living alone

With no Bell telephone

And you don't have a shirt that is clean

(La la la la la) sleepy Joe

Rise and shine sleepy Joe

There are places to go

There are windows to clean on the way

You've got nothing to loose,

But the shine on your shoes

Do the best things you can every day

(La la la la la) sleepy Joe
