Lyric That s Killer Joe
This here s the story about Killer Joe
He s 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 he s the kind o cat that ll 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 an he turned me roun
He dazzled me with some pretty jive
prettier jive than I ve ever heard from
any man alive
He called me "Baby," n "Honey"
Messed wit m head, tol me he d show me
a whole mess o money
An what did I get?
That s somethin I ain t figured out yet
Each woman I meet is like a bead
that s strung on a string
an I wear em like I m wearin a necklace
Women love me, n think 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 won t get funny
When I tighten up an the scene gets heavy
times when I laugh they re over,
now they re gonna feel a draf
Tell y truth, if y mus know
Only thing can save y is t bring me lots o dough
(Background)
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 o meant it
Boy, the chick was in f some surprise
Yep! N Joe ain bout t let er slide
Git er t flyin high n wide
Then goof her carpet ride
She was cute, he had class
Y knew he had er soon s he made his pass
(Background)
(That s Joe!)
Big cities are jungles an men re like leopards
An women are lost lambs who ve
strayed from kep herds
An them leopards - are real wolves
Actin jus like shepherds
Look out! Joe got his hook out
He s lookin so han some
Guaranteed trouble
Y think you c n stan some
He ll furnish it double
So look out
