Junior Brown – Joe The Singing Janitor Lyrics

Joe The Singing Janitor Lyrics

You've heard about the singing brakeman
You might've seen him sing in Cowboy too
Well, I'm Joe the singing janitor
I'm at a theatre near you
I'll also be appearing
At the concert you'll be hearing
But I won't be singing with the band
I'm Joe the singing janitor
Cleaning up for the folks
Getting by the best I can

I'm in your school room, your pool room
Your office and your home
And I always give you service with a smile
And most folks never think that a janitor needs
A little kindness once in a while
Well, I really don't care if you think I'm a square
From my hat down to my shoes
I'm Joe the singing janitor
So go easy on a guy trying to make life easy for you

Well, the school kids like to have a laugh on me
With their spitballs and chewing gum mess
Making fun of my cornball singing voice
And the real square way I dress
Well, I'm going to sing a song in the principal's office
So they better respect an old man
I'm Joe the singing janitor
Working hard for the kids
Getting by the best I can

Well, if a broomstick was a microphone
I could show you all a thing or two
But I ain't on the stage, just a dirty old floor
And I got a lot of work to do
I can't carry a tune in a bucket
But I carry that bucket with pride
I'm Joe the singing janitor
I'm the man behind the mop
I make everything sparkle and shine

I'm in your school room, your pool room
Your office and your home
And I always give you service with a smile
And most folks never think that a janitor needs
A little kindness once in a while
Well, I really don't care if you think I'm a square
From my hat down to my shoes
I'm Joe the singing janitor
So go easy on a guy trying to make life easy for you
Yeah, go easy on a guy trying to make life easy for you
