The Ghost Of Smokey Joe Lyrics

You didn't see me climb through the window
Nobody had to open that door
I just climb right through the wall and I want you one and all
To stand aside and let me have the floor

Take a look, I'm not such a stranger
Here's a face you cokies all ought to know
You can tell me I'm not wanted, but the joint will still be haunted
'Cause I'm the ghost of Smokey Joe

Remember when I kicked the bucket
In my mansion up on Strivers' Row
When they came and took me off in
A zillion dollar coffin
'Cause I'm the ghost of Smokey Joe

Tell me, do you remember Minnie? (Yeah, we remember Minnie)
That frail I never found
You never recognize your Minnie (You never recognize your Minnie)
You mean to say that Minnie
Quit kickin' the gong around?

I got a date on my estate down in Hades
Call my chariot so I can go
And should the moocher walk in
Just tell her you've been talkin'
To the ghost of Smokey Joe

Yes, I remember Minnie
She's that frail I never found
You mean to say that Minnie
Quit kickin' the gong around?

I got a date on my estate down in Hades
Call my chariot so I can go
And should the moocher walk in
Just tell her you've been talkin'
To the ghost of Smokey Joe
