Let me tell you all a story 'bout a girl named Lonesome Joan
2
When she was three she thought she'd try to tie her shoe
3
Her Momma said, "I'll show you how!"
4
She pushed her Mom aside
5
"I'll do it alone," said Lonesome Joan
6
And her laces stayed untied
7
Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan
8
Felt she had to do everything alone
9
She said, "I don't need no help, I can do it by myself"
10
Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan
11
Well, she got a little older -- thought she'd learn to read and write
12
Her teacher tried to help her
13
Joan yelled, "Get out of my sight!"
14
So she never learned to write her name or even read a book
15
And all alone she never learned to swim or skate or count or cook
16
Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan
17
Felt she had to do everything alone
18
She said, "I don't need no help, I can do it by myself"
19
Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan
20
Well, time went by and Joan grew old as people sometimes will
21
When Joan was 81 years old, she met a girl named Lil
22
Lil said, "Joan, it's just ridiculous the things that you can't do!
23
Joan, you're an 80 year old woman -- Time you learn to tie your shoe!"
24
Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan
25
You don't have to do everything alone
26
You can use a little help
27
Don't have to do it by yourself
28
Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan
29
So Lil taught Joan to read and write and tie her shoe and more
30
And Joan lived to the happy age of a hundred and forty four
31
So be sure you learned a lesson
32
From that old girl, Lonesome Joan
33
When you're trying for the first time,
34
You don't have to try alone
35
Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan
36
You don't have to do everything alone
37
You can use a little help
38
Don't have to do it by yourself
39
Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan
40
Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan
41
Yippie tie yie, pardners!
