Be careful girls, for Mighty Joe, be careful
He'll teach you all that you don't know
He'll make you cry before it's through
And I bet you'll like it, too
Did you hear about Mighty Joe?
Did you hear about Mighty Joe?
Beware, beware when he is around
Mighty Joe with the bass voice!

For Mighty Joe was here last year, I tell you
Just like you, I had no fear
I fell for him, baby and then
He made of me a woman
Did you hear about Mighty Joe?
Did you hear about Mighty Joe?
Beware, beware when he is around
Mighty Joe with the bass voice!

Sweet, sweet, sweet thing
Sweet, sweet, sweet thing
I love you, ooh well, I love you
I love you oh so bad
Ooh - yeah

He took my heart and innocence, he did
I swear, he ain't got no sense
Well, I said yeah, he has come to town
I warn you, he will let you down
Did you hear about Mighty Joe?
Did you hear about Mighty Joe?
Beware, beware when he is around
Mighty Joe with the bass voice!

Sweet, sweet, sweet thing
Sweet, sweet, sweet thing
Sweet, sweet, sweet thing ....
