Lucy Kaplanski My Name Joe written by David Massengill
F Joe threw another tantrum Bb He could not to be understood EbBb He cries like baby Samson F His English is not good
Joe's boss of the kitchen Bb But on the outside he knows EbBb Low man on the totem's F Wearing giveaway clothes
Joe he fights the good fight Bb He wears a white uniform EbBb The waiters are all artists F Out chasing unicorns
Joe works fourteen hours Bb After ten he starts to booze EbBb He gets very sentimental F Oh he sings the buddah blues EbBbF He sings the buddah blues BbEb My name Joe my name Joe BbEbBbEbBb There is a king in Thailand EbFEbBbEbBb And he plays the jazz drum BbEbBbEbBb He has a fine and healthy son EbFEbBb Oh no I'm not the one EbBbF My name Joe F On the wall by the time clock Bb Joe's beaming from a photograph EbBb Someone drew across his face F The waiters began to laugh
Joe picked up a hatchet Bb And he tenderized the wall EbBb And when he got through F Time clock wasn't punching anymore
The waiters ran for cover Bb The maitre d' began to lisp EbBb The drunkard in the corner F Said his lettuce was not crisp
Owner called immigration Bb Said there's someone you should know EbBb He's an illegal alien F And I think his name is Joe EbBbF Oh I know his name is Joe BbEb My name Joe my name Joe BbEbBbEbBb There is a king in Thailand EbFEbBbEbBb And he plays the jazz drum BbEbBbEbBb He has a fine and healthy son EbFEbBb Oh no I'm not the one EbBbF My name Joe F Came the man from immigration Bb Said I've got a job to do EbBb Easy questions easy answers F Just point me to the kitchen crew
He asked Leroy from Harlem Bb He asked Cisco from Mexico EbBb He asked the white trash from Tennessee F Thet all said my name Joe
My name Joe my name Joe F The maitre d' he sputtered Bb The kitchen crew they roared EbBb And while they were arguing F Joe slipped out the back door
On the beach Joe tries to listen Bb To the heartbeat of a whale EbBb How it echoes his own heartbeat F And the distance he has sailed EbBbF Oh the distance he has sailed BbEb My name Joe my name Joe BbEbBbEbBb There is a king in Thailand EbFEbBbEbBb And he plays the jazz drum BbEbBbEbBb He has a fine and healthy son EbFEbBb Oh no I'm not the one EbBbF My name Joe
