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
