Blue Monday morning at the factory gate
Almost time to clock in
The boys were all betting that Joe wouldn't show
'Cause they had seen him over the weekend
He had four new tires on that old Cadillac
Betty the waitress and some clothes in the back
Dashboard full of road-maps of Mexico
Joe knows how to live
He says, "Women were made to love, money is made to spend
Life is something, buddy, you will never live again"
Oh, I got to admit Joe sure knows how to live
By now they'll be down at the ocean
He and Betty stretched out somewhere
Only blue in his life is the blue moonlight
Bouncing off Betty's blonde hair
Oh, I can just see him rolling 'round in the sand
I never thought I was a jealous man
When I think what he's doing and what I'm not
Oh, I'm jealous a lot
Women are made to love, money is made to spend
Life is something, buddy, you will never live again
Oh, I got to admit Joe sure knows how to live
Now Betty's back home with her mother
Joe's back on the assembly line
But he brings in his pictures and his Mexican hat
Just to remind us sometimes
He says, "Women are made to love, money is made to spend
Life is something, buddy, you will never live again"
Oh, I got to admit Joe sure knows how to live
Oh, I hate to admit it, Joe sure knows how to live
Man, they'd have fired me if I'd done that
You know
Another thing, I don't see how he got Betty away from her mama
That ol' girl watches her all the time
You think Joe's wife knows about that yet?
