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, donґt 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

Herman's Hermits

Herman's Hermits are an English beat (or pop) band, formed in Manchester in 1963 as Herman & The Hermits. The group's record producer, Mickie Most (who controlled the band's output), emphasized a simple, non-threatening, clean-cut image, although the band originally played R&B numbers. This helped Herman's Hermits become hugely successful in the mid-1960s but dampened the band's songwriting; Noone, Hopwood, Leckenby and Green's songs were relegated to B-sides and album cuts. more »
