Song title: Manhattan Transfer - That's Killer Joe

Edit By: 216.73.216.52

This heres the story about killer joe
Hes a real bad cat, forget I told you so
Silk on the corners of his fancy threads
Double breasted pin stripe coat top press
Fast talkin good looking flim flam jive
Why hes the kind o cat thatll make a dead man cry
So look out for killer joe!

Killer joe - killer joe
Killer joe - love dough
(repeat)

Love of gold
Has made him very cold (repeat top)

I hit the big town anhe turned me roun
He dazzled me with some pretty jive
Prettier jive than Ive ever heard from
Any man alive
He called me baby, n honey
Messed wit mhead, tol me hed show me
A whole mess omoney
An what did I get?
Thats somethin I aint figured out yet

Each woman I meet is like a bead
Thats strung on a string
An I wear em like Im wearin a necklace
Women love me, nthink lots of me
Really! how can they be so reckless
I tell em in front, that I do love money
So - later on - then they wont get funny
When I tighten up an the scene gets heavy
Times when I laugh theyre over,
Now theyre gonna feel a draf
Tell ytruth, if ymus know
Only thing can save yis tbring me lots odough

Poor girl - pity the hick
Poor girl - man, is he slick
Poor girl - pity the poor chick

Stars were peepin low
An man dud she have eyes for that joe
n joe was jivin with all of his lies
She felt he must omeant it
Boy, the chick was in fsome surprise
Yep! n joe ain bout tlet er slide
Giter tflyin high n wide
Then goof her carpet ride
She was cute, he had class
Yknew he had er soon she made his pass

(background)
(thats joe!)

Big cities are jungles an menre like leopards
An women are lost lambs whove
Strayed from kep herds
An them leopards - are real wolves
Actin jus like shepherds

Look out! joe got his hook out
Hes lookin so hansome
Guaranteed trouble
Ythink you cn stan some
Hell furnish it double
So look out

(repeat top)
