lyrics

Goodbye Joeville

when you’re feeling low and down
there’s a hidden special part of town
catch a ride and pick up the sound
and pin it on your wedding gown

the heat carries here like nowhere else 
don’t take it from me come see for yourself

so go ahead and call it what you will
that’s the way that we do it in Joeville 
drop the hammer and pick up the drill 
that’s the way that we do it in Joeville
 pull back the whisky and spit out the pills
that’s the way that we do it in Joeville
get your thrill on gooseberry hill
and that’s the way 
and that’s the way
 and that’s the way that we do it in Joeville

when the cupboard’s bare and there’s nothing on the shelf
you’ve had enough of picking up yourself 
we do it for our souls and we do it for our health
 in the borough where we share the wealth

the beat carries here like no other burgh
 don’t keep it to yourself pass around the word

so go ahead and call it what you will
go for the jugular go for the kill
bring all the extras and bring all the frills
cry for the milk but don’t let it spill

so go ahead and call it what you will
give me a quote from Cecil B. DeMille
zero by a hundred will always get you nil
defenestrate me from your windowsill
