Joe the Lion lyrics

Joe the lion went to the bar

A couple of drinks on the house an' he said

Tell you who you are if you nail me to my car

Boy, thanks for hesitating

This is the kiss off

Boy, thanks for hesitating

You'll never know the real story

Just a couple of dreams

You get up and sleep

You can buy God, it's Monday

Slither down the greasy pipe

So far, so good, no one saw you

Hobble over any freeway

You will be like your dreams tonight

You get up and sleep

Joe the lion made of iron

Joe the lion went to the bar

A couple of drinks on the house an' he was

A fortune teller he said

Nail me to my car and I'll tell you who you are

You get up and sleep

The wind blows on your check

The day laughs in your face

Guess you'll buy a gun

You'll buy it secondhand

You'll get up and sleep

Joe the lion made of iron
