Hey Joe!

Where'd you find that pearly-girly? 

Where'd you get that jolly-dolly?
                                     (G)
How'd you rate that dish I wish was mine?



Hey Joe! 

She's got skin that's creamy-dreamy

Eyes that look so lovey-dovey
                            (C)
Lips as red as cherry-berry wine.


            (F)
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
                                 (G)
I'm warning you I'm gonna try to steal - her from you



(C)
Hey Joe!

Though we've been the best of friends 
(F)
This is where our friendship ends 
(G)                              (C)
I gotta have that dolly for my own. 


Hey Joe! 
Come on let's be buddy-duddy 
Show me you're my palsy-walsy 
Introduce that pretty little chick to me 



Hey Joe! 
Quit that waitin', hesitatin
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 cutist girl I've ever seen 
I'll tell you face to face I mean to steal - her from you 



Hey Joe! 
Now we'll be friends 'till the end 
This looks like the end, my friend 
I gotta have that dolly for my own.
