Run Joe Louis Jordan

Loey, Loey, Loey, Loey, Loey
(Loey, Loey, Loey, Loey, Loey)
Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey
(Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey)
Ay the Calypso boys
A-ay child, what is the policeman doing on the premises?
Tell me all about it, child

Moe and Joe had a candy store
Telling fortune behind a door
Cop grabbed Moe and as Joe ran out
Brother Moe then began to shout
(Run Joe) Ay de man at de door
(Run Joe) He man won't let me go
(Run Joe) Run as fast as you can
(Run Joe) Police holding me han'

(Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey)
(Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey)

Ask Juanita to stand me bail
Don't want to sleep in this rotten jail
Hide de crystal ball by de fence
So dey won't find no evidence

When you reach home, get in de bed
Call a doctor and tie your head
Let Juanita invent a lie
Got to have a good alibi
