	G
	Well, he never got too lonely

	C
	And he never got too sad

	D
	But he never got too happy

	C	G
	And that's what's just too	bad

	G
	He never reached much further

	C
	Than his lonely arms would go

	D
	He wore a seatbelt around his heart

	G
And they called him Safety	Joe

Chorus:

	G
	Safety Joe

	C
Safety	Joe

	G
	What do you say?

	D
What do you	know?

	G
If you don't	loosen up the buckle

	C
On your heart	heart and start to chuckle

	D
You're	gonna die of boredom

	G
Safety	Joe

	G
	Now Joe he lived in Baltimore

	C
	'Cause New York was too darn fast

	D
	He sometimes went down to Washington

	C	G
Just to	view our nation's	past

	G
	He never ate his vegetables

	C
	Cause they were just too darn chewy

	D
	And he never climbed much higher

	G
Than the arch in old St.	Louis

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

	G
	Joe gradually grew meaner

	C
	By not changin' his demeanor

	D
	But he never did nothin'

	G
Too much for too	long

	G
	Therefore his life never got much richer

	C
	Than the day they took that picture

	D	G
	In his birthday suit on the day that he was	born.

(Repeat Chorus)

	D
You're	gonna die of boredom

	G
Safety	Joe

That's golden
