Lyrics to Old Joe Clark

old joe clark
old joe clark, he had a house
eighteen stories high
every story in that house
was filled with chicken pie

round and round, old joe clark

round and round i say

round and round, old joe clark

ain't got long to stay

i went down to old joe's house

he invited me for supper

stubbed my toe on the table leg

and stuck my nose in butter

roll around, old joe clark

sail away and gone

roll around, old joe clark

with your golden slippers on

i went down to old joe's house

never been there before

he slept on a feather bed

i slept on the floor

round and round, old joe clark

round and round i say

round and round, old joe clark

ain't got long to stay

old joe clark he had a cow

she was muley born

it take a jaybird a week and a half

to fly from horn to horn

round and round, old joe clark

round and round i say

round and round, old joe clark

ain't got long to stay

fly around, old joe clark

fly around and gone

fly around, old joe clark

with your golden slippers on

when i was a little boy

i used to play with matches

now i am a great big boy

wearing dad's moustaches

round and round, old joe clark

round and round and gone

round and round, old joe clark

with your golden slippers on

round and round, old joe clark

round and round i say

round and round, old joe clark

ain't got long to stay
