Joanne Songtext
von Bobbie Gentry

Joanne isn′t pretty
And at that I'm being kind
But you know it′s such a pity
'Cause she's got a clever mind
But even with a cunning wit
It don′t help a bitch
(Can′t help it, Joanne can't help it)

Joanne isn′t slender
Well, the truth is that she's fat
But Joanne′s heart is tender
Yeah, but that ain't where it′s at
Now let's face it, she's real fat
And that is patch
(Can′t help it, Joanne can′t help it)


Joanne, I feel so badly
You've got so much more
To offer that doesn′t show
But I guess the world will never know
I'm sorry
Joanne, I feel so sadly
If they could see inside
They′d see you got so much more
Of what ev'rybody′s lookin' for
I'm sorry, Joanne

Joanne is flat-chested
And she′s got a crooked nose
But Joanne′s interested
In poetry 'n′ prose
But that ain't what it takes
And that′s the breech
(Can't help it, Joanne can′t help it)

Joanne, I feel so badly
You've got so much more
To offer that doesn't show
But I guess the world will never know
I′m sorry
Joanne, I feel so sadly
If they could see inside
They′d see you just say much more
Of what ev'rybody′s lookin' for
I′m sorry, Joanne


Joanne, I feel so badly
You've got so much more
To offer that doesn′t show
But I guess the world will never know
I'm sorry
Joanne, I feel so sadly
If they could see inside
They'd see you got so much more
Of what ev′rybody′s lookin' for
I′m sorry, Joanne
