Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't soThat's not what I wanna hear JoeAin't I got a right to knowSay it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't soI'm sure they telling us lies Joe,Please tell us it ain't so.They told us our hero has played his trump cardHe doesn't know how to go on.We're clinging to his charm and determined smile,But the good old days have gone.The image and the empire may be failing apartThe money has gotten scarceOne man's word held the country together,But the truth is getting fierceSay it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't soWe pinned our hope on you JoeAnd they're ruining our show
