[Verse 1]
A D Joe was always funny, even as a lad A B7 E While the other kids played marbles, Joe played Mom and Dad A D He'd carry some girl's books in school or other foolish things A E A So every time we'd see Joe, this song he'd hear us sing
[Chorus]
A D What's the matter, Joe? She's got you in a whirl A E A Joe has got a sweetheart, Joe has got a girl

A D When high school days were over, Joe took himself a wife A B7 E We knew that Joe was crazy, but now he'd wrecked his life A D As the gang stood on the corner and gave the girls the eye A E A Joe pushed his baby buggy and listened to our cry
[Chorus]
A D What's the matter, Joe? Ain't you got no life? A E A Joe is sure as henpecked, Joe has got a wife

A D As time goes by, I wonder if Joe was really wrong A B7 E For every time the gang meets, there's less to sing this song A D For most of them are married, I've watched 'em one by one A E A Get haltered by the altar and never even run
[Chorus]
A D What's the matter, Joe? Guess I'd better get a date A B7 E I'm getting mighty lonesome and it's getting pretty late A D The gang is all at your house while the ladies have their tea A E A So I guess I'd better hurry, hey Joey, wait for me
