FJoe threw another tantrum
He B♭could not to be understood
He E♭cries like baby B♭Samson
His FEnglish is not good

Joe's boss of the kitchen
But on the B♭outside he knows
E♭Low man on  the tB♭otem's
Wearing Fgiveaway clothes

Joe he  fights the good fight
He B♭wears a white uniform
The E♭waiters are all B♭artists
Out Fchasing unicorns

Joe works fourteen hours
After B♭ten he starts to booze
He gets E♭very sentimB♭ental
Oh he Fsings the buddah blues
E♭He B♭sings the buddah Fblues
My name B♭Joe  my name E♭Joe
There B♭is a king in E♭ThaiB♭land  E♭      B♭
E♭And he Fplays the E♭jazzB♭ drum   E♭       B♭
B♭He has a fine and E♭healthy B♭sonE♭    B♭
E♭Oh Fno I'm E♭not the B♭one
E♭My B♭name FJoe
FOn the wall by the time clock
Joe's B♭beaming from a photograph
Someone E♭drew acroB♭ss his face
The Fwaiters began to laugh

Joe picked up a hatchet
And he B♭tenderized the wall
And E♭when he got B♭through
Time clock wasn't Fpunching anymore

The waiters ran for cover
The maitreB♭ d' began to lisp
The E♭drunkard in the cB♭orner
Said his Flettuce was not crisp

Owner called immigration
Said there's B♭someone you should know
He's an iE♭llegal B♭alien
And I Fthink his name is Joe
E♭Oh I B♭know his name is JFoe
My name B♭Joe  my name E♭Joe
There B♭is a king in E♭ThaiB♭land  E♭      B♭
E♭And he Fplays the E♭jazzB♭ drum   E♭       B♭
B♭He has a fine and E♭healthy B♭sonE♭    B♭
E♭Oh Fno I'm E♭not the B♭one
E♭My B♭name FJoe
FCame the man from immigration
          B♭
Said I've got a job to do
Easy E♭questions easy answeB♭rs
Just Fpoint  me to the kitchen crew

He asked Leroy from Harlem
He asked B♭Cisco from Mexico
He asked the wE♭hite trash from TB♭ennessee
Thet allF said my name Joe

My name Joe  my name Joe
FThe maitre d' he sputtered
The kitchen B♭crew they roared
And wE♭hile they were arB♭guing
Joe Fslipped out the back door

On the beach Joe tries to listen
To the hB♭eartbeat of a whale
E♭How it echoes his ownB♭ heartbeat
And the Fdistance he has sailed
E♭Oh the dB♭istance he has sFailed
My name B♭Joe  my name E♭Joe
There B♭is a king in E♭ThaiB♭land  E♭      B♭
E♭And he Fplays the E♭jazzB♭ drum   E♭       B♭
B♭He has a fine and E♭healthy B♭sonE♭    B♭
E♭Oh Fno I'm E♭not the B♭one
E♭My B♭name FJoe
