Hey Joe!    (1953)

Hey Joe, where'd ya find that purdy girly
Where'd ya get that jolly dolly
How'd ya rate that dish I wish was mine?

Hey Joe, she's got skin that's creamy dreamy
Eyes that look so lovey dovey
Lips as red as cherry berry wine

Now listen Joe, I ain't no heel
But old buddy let me tell you how I feel
She's a honey, she's a sugar pie
I'm warning you I'm gonna try
To steal her from you

Hey Joe, though we've been the best of friends
This is where that friendship ends
I gotta have that dolly for my own

Hey Joe, come on let's be buddy buddies
Show me you're my palsy walsy
Introduce that pretty little chick to me
Hey Joe, quit that waiting, hesitating
Let me at her, what's the matter?
You're as slow as any Joe can be!

Now come on, Joe, let's make a deal
Let me dance with her to see if she is real
She's the cutest girl I've ever seen
I tell you face to face I mean to steal
Her from you

Hey Joe, we'll be friends until the end
But this looks like the end, my friend
I gotta have that dolly for my own
I gotta have that dolly for my own
