Standin' on a corner got his hands in the air
Mind so far away
Lookin' for a measure of intensive care
Hanging around he's got his hands in his pockets
Wonderin' which way to go
Lookin' for his friend who's in the new red rocket
Then down the street they go
There's just the people singin'
Dopey Joe, whaddayaknow
Give him five dollars and watch him go
Oh, oh, oh! Woah, woah, woah! Dopey Joe!
Well, Sweet Nellie nice, she's all sugar and spice
Walkin' on a Sunday stroll
Up comes old Joe now, boy don't you know
Asks her with a smile if she'd like to take a walk
Nellie she shakes her head "Not today"
Joe he keeps on talkin', Nellie starts a-walkin'
Pretty soon she's runnin' away
There's just the people singin'
Dopey Joe, whaddayaknow
Give him five dollars and watch him go
Oh, oh, oh! Woah, woah, woah! Dopey Joe!
Standin' on the corner got his eyes on the air
Mind so far away
Waitin' for somebody just to meet him there
(?)
There's just the people singin'
Dopey Joe, whaddayaknow
Give him five dollars and watch him go
Oh, oh, oh! Woah, woah, woah! Dopey Joe!
Oh yeah! Woah, woah, woah, woah! Dopey Joe!
Oh, here it comes again!
Oh, oh, oh! Woah, woah, woah! Dopey Joe!
