D6 A7/6
I used to love these lazy winter afternoons;
D6 A7/6
Starting out too late giving up too soon;
CGoming home to cC#7offee and a trF#7ashy bB7ook;
NEmever paying any mind if thA7ings were never done on
Time was when a fella could just let time slip away;
No worries car or telephone just rent and food to pay;
And every night with single buddies boozing at the bar,
Living for the minute, taking every hour in it!
But nGow there's just too mC#7uch to do in F#7any given dB7ay;
The cEmar, the phone, the kA7iddies shoes too D6many bills to pay;
RF#7unning from the crack of dawn 'til KBmnowlton F#/C#reads the nD6ews,
Em A6 D6 A7/6
And falling into bed too wiped to even kiss the wife good night.
D6 A7/6
Oh, oh, oh...just another working Joe.

D6 A7/6 (as in intro)
The baby's in the Swingomatic, singing Rock and Roll;
My Sweetie's in the kitchen, whipping up my favourite casserole.
I knocked off work at ten o'clock, the kids are still at school.
The coffee pot is perking...to hell with bloody working.
Oh, it sure is sweet to sit at home and let time slip away,
Through tomorrow I'll be scratching through another working day;
But when I start to come apart from all the things to do,
I know that I'll be taking soon another lazy winter afternoon.
Oh, oh, oh...just another working Joe!
