Now Joe he lost his woman to some big-shot business man.
He said I trusted love not money and now look where I am.
You've had enough Joe, you gotta go now.
You've too much Joe, I send you home now.

And he says please Frank, please Frank.
But I am just the tender, I don't give counsel I don't get close,
I'm on no rescue mission man, I'm in no rescue boat,

I'm here to make money,
Wages plus tips,
For pouring water
Into sinking ships.
