[Verse 1]
         A
Rise and shine, Sleepy Joe

          D
Now's the time, don't you know?

       E                  A
To get into a new kind of dream

            A
You've been living alone

        D
With no Bell telephone

        E                          A
And you don't have a shirt that is clean

        E                     A
You can rest your head on the corner of your bed

        E                  A
You can watch the world go by

           D
But you're never gonna see

         A            F#
What the other people see

          D            E           A    E7
If you're always gonna be a Sleepy Joe
[Verse 2]
         A
Rise and shine, Sleepy Joe

          D
There are places to go

          E                       A
There are windows to clean on the way

           A
You've got nothing to lose

      D
But a shine on your shoes

       E                         A
Do the best things you can every day

        E                A
You can get upset at the way the people get

        E                     A
You can turn your back on the crowd

        D
But you never gonna see

        A          F#
What is absolutely real

          D            E           A    E7
If you're always gonna be a Sleepy Joe
[Chorus]
      A                   D

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la (Sleepy Joe)

La la la, la la la, la la la      (Sleepy Joe)

You've been living alone

        D
With no Bell telephone
