Hank Williams No No Joe Lyrics

No No Joe Lyrics

Now look here Joe, quit acting smart

Stop being that old brazen sort

Don't you go sellin' this country short

No, no Joe



Just because you think you've found

The system that we know ain't sound

Don't you go throwin' your weight around

No, no Joe



'Cause the Kaiser tried it and Hitler tried it

Mussolini tried it too

Now they're all sittin' around a fire and did you know something?

They're saving a place for you



Now Joe you ought to get it clear

You can't push folks around with fear

'Cause we don't scare easy over here

No, no Joe



What makes you do the things you do?

You gettin' folks mad at you

Don't bite off more'n you can chew

No, no Joe



'Cause you want a scrap that you can't win

You don't know what you're getting in

Don't go around leading with your chin

No, no Joe



Now you got tanks, some fair size tanks

But you're acting like a clown

'Cause man we've got Yanks, a mess of Yanks

And you might get caught with your tanks down



Don't go throwin' out your chest

You'll pop the buttons off your vest

You're playing with a hornets' nest

No, no Joe



You know, you think you're somebody we should dread

Just because you're seein' red

You better get that foolishness out of your head

No, no Joe



And you might be itchin' for a fight

Quit braggin' about how your bear can bite

'Cause you're sitting on a keg of dynamite

No, no Joe
