Lucy Kaplansky My Name Joe written by David Massengill

[F]Joe threw another tantrum
He [Bb]could not to be understood
He [Eb]cries like baby [Bb]Samson
His [F]English is not good

Joe's boss of the kitchen
But on the [Bb]outside he knows
[Eb]Low man on the t[Bb]otem's
Wearing [F]giveaway clothes

Joe he fights the good fight
He [Bb]wears a white uniform
The [Eb]waiters are all [Bb]artists
Out [F]chasing unicorns

Joe works fourteen hours
After [Bb]ten he starts to booze
He gets [Eb]very sentim[Bb]ental
Oh he [F]sings the buddah blues
[Eb]He [Bb]sings the buddah [F]blues
My name [Bb]Joe my name [Eb]Joe
There [Bb]is a king in [Eb]Thai[Bb]land[Eb][Bb]
[Eb]And he [F]plays the [Eb]jazz[Bb] drum[Eb][Bb]
[Bb]He has a fine and [Eb]healthy [Bb]son[Eb][Bb]
[Eb]Oh [F]no I'm [Eb]not the [Bb]one
[Eb]My [Bb]name [F]Joe
[F]On the wall by the time clock
Joe's [Bb]beaming from a photograph
Someone [Eb]drew acro[Bb]ss his face
The [F]waiters began to laugh

Joe picked up a hatchet
And he [Bb]tenderized the wall
And [Eb]when he got [Bb]through
Time clock wasn't [F]punching anymore

The waiters ran for cover
The maitre[Bb] d' began to lisp
The [Eb]drunkard in the c[Bb]orner
Said his [F]lettuce was not crisp

Owner called immigration
Said there's [Bb]someone you should know
He's an i[Eb]llegal [Bb]alien
And I [F]think his name is Joe
[Eb]Oh I [Bb]know his name is J[F]oe
My name [Bb]Joe my name [Eb]Joe
There [Bb]is a king in [Eb]Thai[Bb]land[Eb][Bb]
[Eb]And he [F]plays the [Eb]jazz[Bb] drum[Eb][Bb]
[Bb]He has a fine and [Eb]healthy [Bb]son[Eb][Bb]
[Eb]Oh [F]no I'm [Eb]not the [Bb]one
[Eb]My [Bb]name [F]Joe
[F]Came the man from immigration
Said I've [Bb]got a job to do
Easy [Eb]questions easy answe[Bb]rs
Just [F]point me to the kitchen crew

He asked Leroy from Harlem
He asked [Bb]Cisco from Mexico
He asked the w[Eb]hite trash from T[Bb]ennessee
Thet all[F] said my name Joe

My name Joe my name Joe
[F]The maitre d' he sputtered
The kitchen [Bb]crew they roared
And w[Eb]hile they were ar[Bb]guing
Joe [F]slipped out the back door

On the beach Joe tries to listen
To the h[Bb]eartbeat of a whale
[Eb]How it echoes his own[Bb] heartbeat
And the [F]distance he has sailed
[Eb]Oh the d[Bb]istance he has s[F]ailed
My name [Bb]Joe my name [Eb]Joe
There [Bb]is a king in [Eb]Thai[Bb]land[Eb][Bb]
[Eb]And he [F]plays the [Eb]jazz[Bb] drum[Eb][Bb]
[Bb]He has a fine and [Eb]healthy [Bb]son[Eb][Bb]
[Eb]Oh [F]no I'm [Eb]not the [Bb]one
[Eb]My [Bb]name [F]Joe
