Joe Cool Lyrics by B.B. King

0

Joe Cool... Back in school
Hangin' round the water fountain
Playin' the fool

Joe Cool... Take it light
If the principal catches you
You're out of sight
(Take those shades off... Walkin' round the halls.)

Joe Cool... Makin' the rounds
Checkin' all the kiddies
Up and down

Joe Cool... Play it straight
If the principal catches you
It's gon-na... Be... Too late
(Yeaaahhh... Better learn to add now.)

A few years later, in the tv special "There's No Time
For Love, Charlie Brown, " the song collected a few more
Verses. To reflect Snoopy's temporary responsibilities
As a supermarket check-out clerk, these lines were
Added:

Joe Cool... After school
Workin' in the supermarket
Just like a mule

Joe Cool... Do it right
And be careful of the manager
He's dy-na-mite

Check each item... Get those prices right!

Joe Cool... Straighten things out
Take it easy, buddy...
You don't have to shout

Joe Cool... Just relax
If you bug the poor ol' manager
You get the ax

Pay attention... Don't you mess things up!

Joe Cool... After school
Working in the supermarket
Breaking the rules

Joe Cool... Playin' the clown
Just be careful of the shopping carts
They're goin'... To bring... You down

Yeah... Goin' for a ride now...
