You heard about the singing breakmen, you mighta seen a singing cowboy too
Well I'm [A]Joe the [D]Singin' [A]Janitor, I'm at a [B7]theater near [E]you
I'll [A]also be appearing at the concerts you'll be hearing but I won't be singin' with a [D]band
I'm Joe the Singin' [A]Janitor, cleanin' up for the folks, gettin [E]by the best I [A]can
CHORUS:
I'm in your [D]school room, your pool room, your office and your home
And I always give you service with a [A]smile
And most [D]folks never think that a janitor needs
A little [A]kindness once in a [E]while
Well I [A]really don't care if you think I'm square from my hat down to my [D]shoes
I'm Joe the Singin' [A]Janitor, so go easy on a guy tryin' to [E]make life easy for [A]you
SOLO
Well the [A]schoolkids like to have a laugh on me, with their [D]spitballs and [E]chewin' gum [A]mess
Makin' [A]fun of my cornball singin' voice and the [B7]real square way I [E]dress
Well I'm [A]gonna sing a song in the principal's office, so they better respect an old [D]man
I'm Joe the Singin' J[A]anitor, workin' hard for the kids, gettin' [E]by the best I [A]can
Well if a [A]broomstick was a microphone, I could [D]show you all a [E]thing or [A]two
I ain't [A]on the stage, just a dirty old floor, and I [B7]got a lot of work to [E]do
I can't [A]carry a tune in a bucket but I carry that bucket with [D]pride
I'm Joe the Singin' [A]Janitor, yeah I'm the man behind the mop I make e[E]verything sparkle & [A]shine
CHORUS
Yeah go [A]easy on a guy tryin' to [E]make life easy for [A]you
