The Velvet Underground — Dopey Joe

[Verse 1] Standin' on a corner got his hands in the air Mind so far away Lookin' for a measure of intensive care Hanging around he's got his hands in his pockets Wonderin' which way to go Lookin' for his friend who's in the new red rocket Then down the street they go [Chorus] There's just the people singin' Dopey Joe, whaddayaknow Give him five dollars and watch him go Oh, oh, oh! Woah, woah, woah! Dopey Joe! [Verse 2] Well, Sweet Nellie nice, she's all sugar and spice Walkin' on a Sunday stroll Up comes old Joe now, boy don't you know Asks her with a smile if she'd like to take a walk Nellie she shakes her head "Not today" Joe he keeps on talkin', Nellie starts a-walkin' Pretty soon she's runnin' away [Chorus] There's just the people singin' Dopey Joe, whaddayaknow Give him five dollars and watch him go Oh, oh, oh! Woah, woah, woah! Dopey Joe! [Verse 3] Standin' on the corner got his eyes on the air Mind so far away Waitin' for somebody just to meet him there (?) [Chorus] There's just the people singin' Dopey Joe, whaddayaknow Give him five dollars and watch him go Oh, oh, oh! Woah, woah, woah! Dopey Joe! [Outro] Oh yeah! Woah, woah, woah, woah! Dopey Joe! Oh, here it comes again! Oh, oh, oh! Woah, woah, woah! Dopey Joe!
