Ballad Of Cleo And Joe lyrics

Artist  : Cyndi Lauper 
Song : Ballad Of Cleo And Joe
 


Every day the clock kicks off the beat.
Little
Joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
Waits
in his platforms for the right train to
come.
Sipping his coffee another day has begun
...

Little Joe got work for minimum
wage.
Tries to get through another dead beat
day.
At five o'clock he comes home to
change,
Takes him many hours just to
rearrange...

And he works his body just to
be somebody.
There's a woman in the mirror
looking like a dream.
And he works his
body...
And he feels somebody...
And the
working boy becomes a dancing queen.

Every
night the DJ kicks off the beat.
Little Cleo's
jumping just to get up on her feet.
Waits in
her platforms for the right song to
come.
Sipping her cocktail another night has
begun.

And he works his body just to be
somebody.
There's a woman in the mirror
looking like a dream.
And he works his
body...
And he feels somebody...
And the
working boy becomes a dancing queen.

Every
morning the clock kicks off the beat.
Little
Joe struggles just to get up on his
feet.
Waits in his platforms for the right
train to come
