There's a man in town all the women know

He goes by the name of Nosey Joe

He don't care if they're married

He takes his pick

Long as they're women, he's ready to stick



His big nose in their business

His big nose in their business

That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know



He ain't good lookin' and he ain't big and stong

The guy's got a nose that's four foot long

I'm tellin' you women, this ain't no jive

If you get too close this man will drive



His big nose in your business

His big nose in your business

That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know



I saw him just  the other day

Tried to steal my gal away

He offered her money

He offered her love

She said thank you sir, but please don't shove



Your big nose in my business

Your big nose in my business

That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know



Old Nosey finally lost his life

Messin' with my buddy's wife

My buddy caught him with his chick

Chopped off his nose, now he can't stick



His big nose in my business

His big nose in my business

That's Nosey Joe, the nosiest guy I know
