Joey, Joey...



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



Joey got a start in the night club scene

Even though she studied ballet under Balanchine

She could take a swan dive if you know what I mean

Doing the Jerk and the Watusi



Joey...

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 pro

They liked to Jerk, they like to monkey



All she ever wanted was your love and respect (she ever)

Isn't that the same thing that we all want, Joey, Joey



I remember Joey in a mattress ad

I guess around this time was when things got bad

When her husband got arrested she looked so sad

Doing the frug, doing the pony (yeah, yeah)



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 de[tox]

She's got the Jerk, she's got the monkey



All she ever wanted was your love and respect (she ever)

You can stay at my place if you want to, Joey

Joey, Joey, Joey...
