I came here to talk for Joe;
He wants me to let you know
He can't keep that date with you tonight.
I came here to talk for Joe,
Gee, that kid sure loves you so!
And when he gets a chance, he said he'd write.
That boy has so much courage,
I've seen the things he can do,
But he never had the courage
To tell you how he feels about you!
Yet he's got a perfect alibi,
He can't be here and in the sky!
So I came here to talk for Joe.
He's got a perfect alibi,
He can't be here and in the sky!
He loves you so,
Too bad he had to go!
So I came here to talk for Joe.
