Oooooh. Oooooh. Oooooh. Joey he's a loaner He sits there on his own They've got him locked in a cell Oh mama mama mama They don't treat your boy well Joey says something must be done They're gonna blow your boy to kingdom come To the beat of the drum. The beat of the drum

 

Joey's got the blues 'cause he's just read the news 'Bout his bad woman again I don't think it's a rumour I presume, she was messin' around on him Joey did something wrong They're gonna blow that cat to kingdom come To the beat of the drum. The beat of the drum

 

Now Joey's got the blues 'cause he just heard the news That he's not gonna get a second chance He's been spending his time in prison How he's goin' for his last dance They're gonna blow him away to kingdom come 'Cause he done done her wrong To the beat of the drum.
