Blue monday morning at the factory gate,
Almost  time to clock in
The boys are all betting that joe wouldn't show,
They'd seen him over the weekend
13 he had 4 new tires on that ol cadillac,
Betty the waitress, had some clothes in the back,
Dashboard full of road maps  of mexico, joe knows how to live

He said women were made to love, money is made to spend
Life is something buddy , you will never live again
Oh I've got to admit it, joe sure knows how to live

By now they'll be down at the ocean,
He and betty stretched out somewhere
The only blue in his life, is the blue moonlite,
Bouncing off betty's blonde hair 

Oh I can just see em rolling around in the sand,
I never thought, I was a jealous man,
But when I think what he's doing & what I'm not, oh I'm jealous a lot....

He said women were made to love, money is made to spend
Life is something buddy , you will never live again
Oh I've got to admit it, joe sure knows how to live

Lead

Now betty's back home with her mother,
Joe's back on the assembly line
But he brings in his pictures and his mexican hat,
Just to remind us sometimes....

He said women were made to love, money is made to spend
Life is something buddy , you will never live again
Oh I've got to admit it, joe sure knows how to live

Oh I hate to admit it, joe sure knows how to live

Man, they would have fired me if I'd had done that,
Another thing man,
I don't see how he got betty away from her mother,
That ol girl watches her all the time,
You think joe's wife know about that yet
