Intro

Verse 1

When-ever I'm out a wandering, chasing a rainbow dream.

I often stop and think a-bout, a place I've never seen.

Bridge 1

Where friendly folks can gather, and raise the rafters high.

With songs and tales of yester year, un-til they say good-bye.

Chorus 1

Well...

There's a puppy in the parlor, and a skillet on the stove,

And a smelly old blanket, that a Navajo wove.

There's a chicken on the table, but you got to say grace.

There's always something cooking at Old Joe's Place.

Verse 2

Now folks come by round evening time, soon as the sun goes down.

Some drop in from right next door, and some from out of town. (Pick it!)

Bridge 2

(Instrumental/Banjo Solo)

Chorus 2

Well...

There's a puppy in the parlor, and a skillet on the stove,

And a smelly old blanket, that a Navajo wove.

There's popcorn in the popper, and a porker in the pot.

There's pie in the pantry, and the coffee's always hot.

There's a chicken on the table, but you got to say grace.

There's always something cooking at Old Joe's Place.

Verse 3

Now they don't allow no frowns inside; leave them by the door.

There's apple brandy by the keg, and sawdust on the floor.

Bridge 3

So if you've got a hankerin', I'll tell you where to go.

Just look for the busted neon sign, that flashes... Ea A Oh's.

Chorus 3

Well...

There's a puppy in the parlor, and a skillet on the stove,

And a smelly old blanket, that a Navajo wove.

There's popcorn in the popper, and a porker in the pot.

There's pie in the pantry, and the coffee's always hot.

There's sausage in the morning, and a party every night,

There's a nurse on duty, if you don't feel right.

There's a chicken on the table, but you got to say grace.

There's... always something cooking at Old...Joe's...Place.
