Run Joe Chuck Berry

[Verse 1]
Mo and Joe had a candy store
Telling fortune behind a door
Cops grabbed Mo and as Joe ran out
Brother Mo then began to shout

[Chorus]
Run Joe, eh de police at de door
Run Joe and he won't let me go
Run Joe, run as fast as you can
Run Joe de police holding me hang

[Verse 2]
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
Tell Juanita invent a lie
Got to have a good alibi

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Go get a mouthpiece to talk for me
Oh, they'll sure give me de third degree
When dey take me before de sarge
I am going to deny de charge
If de judge ask me how I plead
Not guilty sir, most decidedly
You can see judge at a glance
I'm a victim of circumstance
