[Verse 1]

Tootsie roll soul and doodle-white shoes

Papa's sure proud of his little bitty rockin' roll baby

Singin' at the age of two

He can hardly talk but he sure knows how to sing the blues

Little Joe never sings out of tune

Always in key, he's a soulful little rockin' roll baby

Never heard a boy sing the way my little Joey do

F#m D Dbm F#
He was born in a theatre in Bluefield, West Virginia
Bm Dbm D E
His ma and I were travelin' on the road
F#m D Dbm F#
I worked hard all that summer as a fill-in for the drummer

One-night stands weren't easy for little Joe
[Verse 3]
A
Bought a new house in Beverly Hills

Papa made it big and he did it for his rockin' roll baby

A little bit of rhythm and blues
E Bm A
Got a funky walk in his little orthopedic shoes
[Chorus]

One-night stands weren't easy for little Joe
