SLEEPY JOE
Text und Musik: John Carter & Russell Alquist
E's singen Herman's Hermits
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're 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 lose,
put a shine on your shoes,
do the best things you can ev'ry day.
You can get upset
at the way that people get,
you can turn your back on the crowd;
But you're never gonna see
what is absolutely real
if you're always gonna be a
Sleepy Joe.
La, la, la ........
