Madame Joy

All the men would turn their head

When she walked down the street

Clothes are fine and hair that shine

Smiling oh so sweet, smiling oh so sweet

Got a taste of all religion

Comes on with the new

In her hair a yellow ribbon

And she's decked out all in blue

Oh yes in, decked out all in blue

Steppin' lightly, steppin' brightly

With her books in hand

Going to the university to teach them

Help them understand

And are helping 'em understand

And all the kids would love to see her

Follow in her steps

And tell her stories and adore her

Climb in through the fence

Climb in through the fence

Here she comes walking

Here she comes talking

I do believe it's Madame Joy

Walking past that old street corner

And she's looking for her boy

Oh yes she is, looking for her boy

Steppin' lightly, steppin' brightly

With her books in hand

Going to the university to teach them

Help them understand

Yeah, help them understand

I was looking at the way she moved me

And I was seeing every side

Tell me, can I learn the language

Have you got the mind, have you got the mind

Here she comes walking

Here she comes talking

I do believe it's Madame Joy

She's walking by that old street corner

And she's looking for her boy

Oh yes looking for her boy

And all the men would turn their head

When she walked down the street

Clothes refined and hair that shine

And smiling oh so sweet, oh yes, she's smiling oh so sweet

Smiling, smiling oh so sweet, yeah, yeah, yeah

Smiling, smiling oh so sweet

And all the men would

And all the men would turn their head around

When that woman walked down the street

When that woman walked down the street

When that, when that woman walked

When that woman walked, when that woman walked

When that woman walked, when that woman walked

When that woman walked, what she wore

When that woman, when that woman, when that woman

When that woman, when that woman, when that woman

When that woman, when that woman, when that woman

When that woman, when that woman walked

She just walked

Just kept on walking down the street

When she walked, when she walked down

When she walked on down
