Joey lyrics

[Intro]
Joey, Joey

[Verse 1]
Joey was the "it" girl at just fifteen
She had short blonde hair that was slightly teased
She made the older men sweat when she danced on TV
Doing the Frug, doing the Monkey, yeah

[Verse 2]
Joey got her start in the nightclub scene
Even though she studied ballet under Balanchine
She could take a swan dive, if you know what I mean
Doing the j*rk and the Watusi, yeah

[Verse 3]
Joey had a spot on Dean Martin's show
She even went to 'Nam with the USO
She fell in love with a famous football rogue
They liked to j*rk, they like to Monkey

[Chorus]
All she ever wanted was your love and respect
Isn't that the same thing that we all want?
Joey, Joey
[Verse 4]
I remember Joey in a mattress ad
I guess around this time it's when things got bad
And her husband got arrested, she looked so sad
Doing the Frug, doing the Pony, yeah
Yeah

[Verse 5]
Yesterday in line at the A&P
I saw Joey on the back of Star magazine
They said she's using again and she still won't eat
She's got the j*rk, she's got the monkey

[Chorus]
All she ever wanted was your love and respect
You can stay at my place if you want to
Joey, Joey
Joey, Joey

[Instrumental Outro]
