(Retro Robot Doo-Wop)
[Intro]
Shoo-bop shoo-bop
Click-clack ding
Shoo-bop shoo-bop
Let the chrome hearts sing…
[Verse 1]
J-j-Joe was the baddest lawman round
Put outlaw after outlaw in the ground
Steel blue eyes and a rust-red stare
Nobody breathed when Joe was there
Three inch dent in his metal head
Folks all whispered the lawman dead
But he came back walkin’ through the radioactive rain
Till one day he heard of j-Jane
[Chorus]
J-J-Jane
Sweetest little songbird on the plain
Silver voice and a heart so strange
Every cowboy fell for j-Jane
J-J-Jane
Pretty smile hiding all the pain
Left a trail of bodies in her wake
Still they lined right up for j-Jane
Shoo-bop shoo-bop
[Verse 2]
She’d sing in saloons from town to town
Then some poor fool wouldn’t come back around
Pick her next mark with a loving song
Then disappear before too long
Prettiest little chrome gal you’d ever see
South of the glowing radioactive sea
So Joe loaded iron and checked his aim
And rode out hunting j-Jane
[Chorus]
J-J-Jane
Sweetest little songbird on the plain
Voice so warm it could melt steel chains
Even cold hearts broke for j-Jane
J-J-Jane
Every lawman swore she was insane
But when she sang beneath neon lights
Nobody stayed the same
[Bridge]
Joe walked in through the saloon door slow
Dust on his coat from the roads below
Then j-Jane sang soft beneath blue light
About lost love in the wasteland night
And Joe’s cold metal heart beat strange
Like rusty gears had somehow changed
He steadied himself and touched his gun
But that lawman fight was already done
[Verse 3]
“You’re c-c-coming with me…” Joe said low
Jane just smiled real sweet and slow
“Oh j-j-Joe you big strong lawman dear…
S-surely there’s another outlaw near?”
“They call me j-j-Joe…” he said with pride
“And I always g-get my m-man alive”
Jane poured a drink and softly laughed
“W-well let’s see how long that lasts…”
[Breakdown]
One drink turned into two then ten
Moonlight faded through broken neon
By sunrise Joe had lost the fight
And married j-Jane that very night
[Final Chorus]
J-J-Jane
Sweetest little songbird on the plain
Now she rides beside her lawman man
Through the dust and acid rain
J-J-Joe
Finally laid his shotgun low
Didn’t get a m-man that night
No… he got a w-w-wife instead
[Outro]
Shoo-bop shoo-bop
Chrome hearts glow
Shoo-bop shoo-bop
Down the wasteland road
Shoo-bop shoo-bop
Love can change
Even old j-j-Joe…
