I once had a friend

His name was Joe

Joe sho' was cold

He said I'll be a mack

I drive a Cadillac

Carry money in a sack

Joe

Right on, Joe

Joe sho' was cold

As time went on

Seen Joe

Joe sho' was cold

He drives a Cadillac

With three girls in the back

Girls in the back

He carried money in a sack

He had his hair laid back

Right on Joe

Joe

Joe sho' was cold

And as time went on

Seen Joe

And Joe still was cold

He said my rent is due

And my car note too

But I ain't worried

Cos' my women will have it by afternoon

Right on, Joe

Joe sho' was cold

Cold Joe

On the other side

Of Cool Joe

Cold Joe

And as time went on

I got worried about Joe

And I asked Joe

I said why you spent all your money

On the blow

He said cos I'm a mack

I drive a Cadillac

With three girls in the back

And you see I like it like that!

Right on Joe

What cha gon' do, Joe

What cha gon' do

As time went on

Seen Joe

This time Joe was all outta dough

No Cadillac

No girls in the back

He had no money in a sack

Joe

Poor Joe

What cha gon' do, Joe

I thought I told you so

Poor Joe

What cha gon' do, Joe...
