You heard about the singing brakeman; You might have seen a singing cowboy, too... I'm Joe the singing janitor, I'm at a theater near you. I'll also be appearing at the concert you'll be hearing... But I won't be singing with the band. I'm Joe the singing janitor, Cleanin' up for the folks; gettin' by the best I can.
I'm in your school room, your pool room, your office, and your home... And I'll always give you service with a smile. And most folks don't think that a janitor needs, A little kindness once in a while. Well I really don't care if you think I'm a square, From my hat down to my shoes. I'm Joe the singing janitor... So go easy on a guy who's tryin' to make life easy on you!
Well the school kids like to have a laugh on me, With their spitballs and chewin' gum mess... Making fun of my cornball singing voice, And the real square way I dress. Well I'm gonna sing a song in the principal's office, So they better respect an old man. I'm Joe the singing janitor... Workin' hard for the kids; gettin' by the best I can!
Well if a broomstick was a microphone... I could show you all a thing or two. I ain't on the stage, just a dirty old floor... And I got a lotta work to do. I can't carry a tune in a bucket... But I carry that bucket with pride. I'm Joe the singing janitor... I'm the man behind the mop; I make everything sparkle and shine!
I'm in your school room, your pool room, your office, and your home... And I'll always give you service with a smile. And most folks don't think that a janitor needs, A little kindness once in a while. Well I really don't care if you think I'm a square, From my hat down to my shoes. I'm Joe the singing janitor... So go easy on a guy who's tryin' to make life easy on you
