Ballad Of Cleo & Joe Lyrics - Sisters Of Avalon - Cyndi Lauper

Every mornin' 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 

Sippin' his coffee, another day has begun 

Little Joe got work for minimum wage 

Tries to get through another dead beat day 

At five oclock he comes home to change 

Takes him many hours just to rearrange 

And he works his body just to be somebody 

Theres a woman in the mirror lookin' like a dream 

And he works his body and he feels somebody 

And the working boy became a dancing queen 

Yeah, and he works his body just to be somebody 

Theres a woman in the mirror lookin' like a dream 

And he works his body and he feels somebody 

And the working boy becomes a dancing queen, yeah 

Every night the DJ kicks off the beat 

And little Cleos jumpin' 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 

Theres a woman in the mirror looking like a dream 

And he works his body and he feels somebody 

And the working boy became a dancing queen 

Every mornin' 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
