Meanwhile Down At Joe’s

I iron and I sew
As I watch the late show
But something moist
Keeps getting in my eyes

He called and said
Don't wait
He’d be working late
And so another lonely night goes by

Meanwhile down at Joe's
Some music's playing
I can almost see him there holding her so tight
Meanwhile here at home
The baby’s crying
All in all it's just another night

I polish and I clean
And read a magazine
It's time for bed
He'll soon be slipping in

Tomorrow he will be sweet
And kind to me
He'll love me until he works late again
Meanwhile down at Joe's...
