Joe Escott

If you live or come from here
you'll have heard of, maybe know
local legend
my friend Joe

Joe is quite famous in this little city
and if you don't know him i'm sure you will soon
his voice is like chocolate, his girlfriends are pretty
and if you just ask him he'll give you a tune

With Benny Rich he plays songs from the sixties
and he runs a night where others can play
and that's where i started, where he was the big cheese
with songs from the 80s, back in the day

He had a band without any women
a room full of instruments, a couple of fans
They were quite good, I was in the band with him
Never recorded outside of a jam

Don't underestimate the rather dramatic
knack Joe has developed for pleasing a crowd
TV show theme tunes worked into a classic
He gets them dancing and singing aloud

I have a friend, his name is Joe Escott
It's partly his fault that I to do what I do
and if I should ever achieve some success
what I'll never forget is where credit is due
