[Verse 1]
Joe Cool, back in school
Hangin' ’round the water fountain, playin' the fool
Joe Cool, take it light
If the principal catches you, you're out of sight

[Bridge]
Take those shades off
Walkin’ round the hall

[Verse 2]
Joe Cool, makin' the rounds
Checkin' all the kiddies, up and down
Joe Cool, play it straight
If the principal catches you, it's gonna be too late
Yeah, better learn to add now

[Verse 3]
Joe Cool, after school
Workin' in the supermarket, just like a mule
Joe Cool, do it right
And be careful of the manager, he's dynamite

[Bridge]
Check each item
Get those prices right
[Verse 4]
Joe Cool, straighten things out
Take it easy, buddy, you don't have to shout
Joe Cool, just relax
If you bug the poor ol' manager, you’ll get the axe
Pay attention
Don’t you mess things up

[Verse 5]
Joe Cool, after school
Workin' in the supermarket, breakin’ the rules
Joe Cool, playin' the clown
Just be careful of the shopping carts
They're gonna bring you down
Yeah
Goin' for a ride now
