JOEY GOT JIVED


Both feet on the ground
Takin' a trip;
Diggin' the sound
Deemed to be hip.
And what's to be found
Playin' the Ritz?
A bunch of clowns
Who wanna be rich!

Joey got jived! Joey got jived!

Big time sound;
Always ripped.
Always loud,
And a little queer!
Pence and pounds,
Dollars and cents
Came rainin' down!
(But not on him!)

Joey got jived! Joey got jived!

Tightly wound
on the trend,
He got around
But couldn't win.
Mama was proud,
Papa threw fits!
He took a vow
And said never again!
