Hitchiker Joe

Don't pick up Hitchiker Joe
He'll slit your throat & cut off your big toe
I'll tell you
He'll make you smile from ear to ear
And lock you in a trunk for 99 years

I had a cousin who came from Vermont
Next thing I know that cousin was gone
Truck driver saw him picking up hitchhiker Joe
Now his spleen's on the sidewalk helping flowers grow

Don't pick up Hitchiker Joe
He'll slit your throat & cut off your big toe
I'll tell you
He'll make you smile from ear to ear
And lock you in a trunk for 99 years

My best friend Eddie called from LA
Said we'd have dinner later that day
I've got a feeling & it's more than a hunch
My poor friend Eddie was that hitchiker's lunch

Don't pick up Hitchiker Joe
He'll slit your throat & cut off your big toe
I'll tell you
He'll make you smile from ear to ear
And lock you in a trunk for 99 years

Hitchiker Joe ain't no vegetarian
If you see him on the highway steer clear of him
He got a knife in his sock & a razor up his sleeve
And a chainsaw in his pack & he's gonna make you bleed

Don't pick up Hitchiker Joe
He'll slit your throat & cut off your big toe
I'll tell you
He'll make you smile from ear to ear
And lock you in a trunk for 99 years

My girlfriend Lois called from Tallahassee
She picked up that dude at the Spam factory
That was the last time that I saw her smile
My best advice is don't eat Spam for a while

Don't pick up Hitchiker Joe
He'll slit your throat & cut off your big toe
I'll tell you
He'll make you smile from ear to ear
And lock you in a trunk for 99 years

Don't pick up Hitchiker Joe
He'll slit your throat & cut off your big toe
I'll tell you
He'll make you smile from ear to ear
And lock you in a trunk for 99 years
