Joey, Joey, Joey
Wanderlust Whispers: Joey's Journey Unveiled
Lyrics
Joey, Joey, Joey joey, Joey, Joe
Repetition emphasizes a call to Joey.
You've been too long in one place
Joey has stayed in one location for too long.
And it's time to go time to go
Implying it's time for Joey to leave.
Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey joey, Joey
Continued emphasis on Joey's name.
Joey, travel on
Encouragement for Joey to keep traveling.
You've been too long in one town
Joey has lingered in a single town for an extended period.
And the harvest time's come and gone
Indicates that the opportunities or favorable times have passed in that town.
That's what the wind sings to you
The wind symbolically represents a messenger urging Joey to move on.
When the bunk you've been bunkin' in
When the comfort of the place Joey's been staying in becomes too familiar.
Gets to feelin' too soft and cozy
Feeling too settled and complacent.
When the grub they've been cooking you
The food loses its appeal when it becomes routine.
Gets to tastin' too good
When things become too comfortable or enjoyable.
When you've seen all you want
When Joey has experienced everything he desires in that place.
All the ladies in the neighborhood
Suggests familiarity with the locals or romantic interests.
She sings Joey joey, Joey
Reiteration of Joey's name in a musical manner.
Joey, Joey, Joe
Reemphasizes the need for Joey to move on.
You've been too long in one place
Similar to line 3, indicating overstaying in a single place.
And it's time to go time to go
Reiterating the need for Joey to depart.
Joey, Joey, Joey joey, Joe
Continued repetition urging Joey to leave.
Joey, Joe
Final reminder to Joey to keep moving forward.
