Blue Monday morning at the factory gate

Almost time to clock in

Boys are all betting that Joe wouldn't show

They'd seen him over the weekend

He had four new tyres on that old Cadillac

Betty the waitress had some clothes in the back

Dashboard full of road maps of Mexico

Joe knows how to live

He said "Women are made to love

Money's made to spend

Life is one thing buddy you will never live again"

Oh I got to admit it Joe sure knows how to live

But now they'll be down at the ocean

He and Betty stretched out somewhere

Only blue in his life is the blue moonlight

Bouncing off Betty's blond hair

Oh and I can just see 'em rolling 'round on the sand

I never thought I was a jealous man

When I think what he's doing and what I am not

Lord I'm jealous a lot

Women are made to love

Money's made to spend

Life is something buddy you will never live again

Hell I got to admit it Joe sure knows how to live

Betty's back home with her mother

Joe's back on the assembly line

But he brings in his pictures and his Mexican hat

Just to remind us sometimes

You say women are made to love

Money's made to spend

Life is something buddy you might never live again

Hell I got to admit it Joe sure knows how to live

Oh I hate to admit it Joe sure knows how to live

Man they would fired me if I'd done that

You know

Another thing

I don't see how he got Betty away from her mama

That ol' girl watches her all the time

You think Joe's wife know about that yet
