   A                    D              A
A hip drag queen and a side walkin' street wheeler
Cdim7   B7      D    A
comin' down the avenue. They're all your friends,
D               A                  Cdim7 B7      D           A
you'll come to love 'em, there's a load  of 'em waitin' for you

Chorus:
A           D               A
Lookout Joe, you're comin' home.
Cdim7 B7         D      A  Cdim7 B7         D    A
Old  times were good times Old  times were good times

Remember Millie from down in Philly?
She took my brain and forgot my name
The woman you were with was about the same
She took your money and left town

Chorus:
Lookout, Joe
You're comin' home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
(Take it, Ben!)

Glory Hallelujah
Will I lay my burden down?
Singing on the streets around
Look at that crazy clown
(Look at)

Remember Bill from up on the hill?
A Cadillac put a hole in his arm
But old Bill, he's up there still
Havin' a ball rolling to the bottom

Chorus:
Lookout, Joe
You're comin' home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
Old times were good times
