Killer Joe Lyrics by Art Farmer, Benny Golson

Meet the Jazztet

[Intro: Benny Golson]
We'd like you to meet a friend of ours who goes by the name of Killer Joe
Picture a so-called hippie or hip-cat
Standing on a corner in a neatly-pressed
Double-breasted form-fitting pinstriped suit
A pair of pointed-toed shoes with bowed white stitches around the soles
A black shirt
A long white tie
A black pencil mustache
And of course, a very wide-brimmed black felt hat
Killer Joe always has a pocket full of loot
But only the kind that jingles
You see, he likes to play the horses
He is most certainly a ladies man
As a matter of fact
He is always going to accept cash contributions from them for any cause
Namely his own
The most important thing about Killer Joe that you have to know
Is that he is very much against manual labor
Killer Joe
[Instrumental]
[Outro: Benny Golson]
