Every day the clock kicks off the beat.
|
Little Joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
|
Waits in his platforms for the right train to come.
|
Sipping his coffee another day has begun...
|
|
Little Joe got work for minimum wage.
|
Tries to get through another dead beat day.
|
At five o'clock he comes home to change,
|
Takes him many hours just to rearrange...
|
|
And he works his body just to be somebody.
|
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream.
|
And he works his body...
|
And he feels somebody...
|
And the working boy becomes a dancing queen.
|
|
Every night the DJ kicks off the beat.
|
Little Cleo's jumping just to get up on her feet.
|
Waits in her platforms for the right song to come.
|
Sipping her cocktail another night has begun.
|
|
And he works his body just to be somebody.
|
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream.
|
And he works his body...
|
And he feels somebody...
|
And the working boy becomes a dancing queen.
|
|
Every morning the clock kicks off the beat.
|
Little Joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
|
Waits in his platforms for the right train to come...
