Mo and Joe had a candy store 
Tellin' fortune behind a door Cops grabbed 
Mo and as Joe ran out 
Brother Mo then began to shout
Run Joe, eh de police at de door 
Run Joe and he won't let me go 
Run Joe, run as fast as you can 
Run Joe de police holdin' me han'
Ask Juanita to stand me bail 
Don't want to sleep in this rotten jail 
Hide de crystal ball by de fence 
So dey won't find no evidence
When you reach home get in de bed 
Call a doctor and tie your head 
Tell Juanita invent a lie 
Got to have a good alibi
Run Joe, eh de police at de door 
Run Joe and he won't let me go 
Run Joe, run as fast as you can 
Run Joe de police holdin' me han'
Go get a mouthpiece to talk for me 
Oh, they'll sure give me de third degree 
When dey take me before de sarge 
I am going to deny de charge
If de judge ask me how I plead 
Not guilty sir, most decidedly 
You can see judge at a glance 
I'm a victim of circumstance
Run Joe, eh de police at de door 
Run Joe and he won't let me go 
Run Joe, run as fast as you can 
Run Joe de police holdin' me han'
Me mommy told me not long ago 
Boy keep away from that no good Joe 
If I do like me momma say 
I wouldn't be in this trouble today
I'll be home by de break of day 
If de judge believe what I say 
And if he don't I'll be lookin' cute 
Behind de bars in me striped suit
Run Joe, eh de police at de door 
Run Joe and he won't let me go 
Run Joe, run as fast as you can 
Run Joe de police holdin' me han'
Run Joe 
Run Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe 
Run Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe 
Run Joe
