Wilson Pickett

Hey Joe

Hey Joe!

Where'd ya find that pearly girlie

Where'd ya get that jolly dolly

How did ya rate that dish I wish was mine

Hey Joe!

She's got skin that's creamy dreamy

Eyes that look so lovey-dovey

Lips as red as cherry berry wine

Now listen Joe, I ain't no heel

But oh buddy let me tell you how I feel

She's a honey, she's a sugar pie

I'm warnin' you I'm gonna try to steal her from you

Hey Joe!

Though we've been the best of friends

This is where that friendship ends

I gotta have that dolly for my own.

(Hey Joe!)

(Hey Joe!)

Hey Joe!

Come on let's be buddy buddies

Show me you're my palsy-walsy

Introduce that pretty little chick to me

Hey Joe!

Quit that waitin', hesitatin'

Let me at 'er, 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 cutest girl I've ever seen

An' I tell ya face to face I mean to steal her from you

Hey Joe!

We'll be friends until the end

But this looks like the end my friend

I gotta have that dolly for my own

I've gotta have that dolly for my own

(Hey Joe, Hey Joe)
