as recorded by
The Nat "King" Cole Trio

Little Joe from Chicago,
He wears a xxxx? diamond ring.
Little Joe from Chicago,
He never wants for anything,
He has plenty money and he dresses up like a king!

Little Joe from Chicago,
He never spent a day in school.
Little Joe from Chicago,
He never learned a grammar rule,
But now he has money, he makin' things look like it's cool!

Little Joe from Chicago,
He wears a xxxx? diamond ring.
Little Joe from Chicago,
He never wants for anything,
He has plenty money and he dresses up like a king!

Little Joe,
Little Joe,
Little Joe.
