Run Joe
Moe and Joe run the video store
Selling micas behind closed doors
The cops grab Moe and as Joe runs out
Brother Moe he began to shout
Run Joe!
Hey the man's at the door
Run Joe!
Hey man he won't let me go
Run Joe!
Run Joe as fast as you can
Run Joe!
These police holding me hand
Hide the crystal ball by the fence
So they won't find the evidence
Get somebody to tell a lie
Got to have me an alibi
Hurry home and get in your bed
Call the doctor and tie your head
Get somebody to call my bail
Don't want to stay in that fucking jail
Run Joe!
Hey the man's at the door
Run Joe!
Hey man he won't let me go
Run Joe!
Run Joe as fast as you can
Run Joe!
These police holding me hand
When they take me before the sarge
I am going to deny that charge
When the judge ask me how I plead
Not guilty judge most decidedly
You can see judge at a glance
I'm just a victim of circumstance
Run Joe!
Hey the man's at the door
Run Joe!
Hey man he won't let me go
Run Joe!
Run Joe as fast as you can
Run Joe!
These police breaking me hand
Ain't your mother done told ya?
Ain't your mother done scold ya?
Ain't she warned ya before Joe?
If you get caught ya run Joe
Run Joe!
Police catching up to Joe
Joe run to slow
Moe and Joe run the video store
Selling micas behind closed doors
The cops grab Moe and as Joe runs out
Brother Moe he began to shout
Run Joe!
Hey the man's at the door
Run Joe!
Hey man he won't let me go
Run Joe!
Run Joe as fast as you can
Run Joe!
These police holding me hand
Hide the crystal ball by the fence
So they won't find the evidence
Get somebody to tell a lie
Got to have me an alibi
Hurry home and get in your bed
Call the doctor and tie your head
Get somebody to call my bail
Don't want to stay in that fucking jail
Run Joe!
Hey the man's at the door
Run Joe!
Hey man he won't let me go
Run Joe!
Run Joe as fast as you can
