Lyrics
Joe's got a habit that's a bit unclear
Whispers and a sniff when somebody's near
He's got a manner that some can't define
Yet he walks the line in a world so fine
In the Senate halls, back in older days
Got a little close, just his friendly ways
Smile so wide, ol' diamond Joe
Crosses the aisle with a gentle hello
Offers a shoulder or two for support
'Sides, that's just Joe, the political sort
Every step taken, a pat and a grin
Sniff or two here, but his heart's genuine
Now he's top man, sittin' in the big chair
Change in his pocket, and scent in the air
A social fellow with a nose for the crowd
Whiff of ambition, speaking quite loud
Promised unity, across the divide
Folks still whisper 'bout his tactile guide
He's got charm, that's for sure, with a touch so light
Hands on your shoulder in the cool fall night
Boundaries blurry in the old boys' club
A sensitive leader with a soft, warm rub
Through the union calls and campaign trails
Joe's got a habit, but his heart prevails
Comin' round the corner with a grin so keen
Joe's got a way that's gotta be seen
He's an old school gent with a friendly lean
A sniff here and there, just part of the scene
[Chorus]
That's just Joe, with his charm machine
A little closer now, what's the harm it seems
With every handshake, a closeness felt
A familiar whisper, like a heart that's melt
He style, he sways, with a vintage flair
Joe's ways might pause, but folks mostly don't care
[Chorus]
That's our Joe, with his hair so white
A nuzzle here and there, he's a friendly sight
Got that smile, that presidential style
Creases and crinkles, but don't you dare revile
Betwixt the lines of age, his affectionate stage
Joe's got that old-school touch, Americana's sage
Winks and whispers, a soft old melody
Every sniff a chapter in his personal anthology
In the glare of a thousand flashbulbs' light
Joe makes a round with his grin so bright
In the hubbub, he's folksy and near
A little too close, whispers some would fear
'Midst the campaign signs, hands held high
He leans in with that look in his eye
