Well, he never got too lonely And he never got too sad But he never got too happy And that's what's just too bad He never reached much further Than his lonely arms would go He wore a seatbelt around his heart And they called him Safety Joe Safety Joe, Safety Joe (Safety Joe, Safety Joe) What do you say?

What do you know? If you don't loosen up the buckle On your heart and start to chuckle Well, you're gonna die of boredom, Safety Joe Well, you're gonna die of boredom, Safety Joe That's golden
