Lyrics
Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles: Okay, Shiku. You're ready?

Shiku: Sure am, Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles. And I've got my piano all in tuned.

Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles: Good, because me and my bass are all ready to groove.

Shiku: Oh, good. Then why don't you introduce the song?

Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles: Oh, okay. (clears throat) Shiku and I are going to sing a song about a girl who had a little trouble learning to how to do things and this girl's name was Lonesome Joan, which is also the name of our song. (clears throat) Hit it.

Shiku: Okay, Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles old pardner. Let her rip!

Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles: (spoken) Okay, buckaroo Shiku. (singing) Let me tell you all a story 'bout a girl named Lonesome Joan When she was three she thought she'd try to tie her shoe Her Momma said, "I'll show you how!" She pushed her Mom aside "I'll do it alone," said Lonesome Joan And her laces stayed untied

Shiku and Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles: Felt she had to do everything alone (Yahoo!) Shiku and Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles : She said, "I don't need no help, I can do it by myself" Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Shiku: Well, she got a little older -- thought she'd learn to read and write Her teacher tried to help her Joan yelled, "Get out of my sight!" So she never learned to write her name or even read a book And all alone she never learned to swim or skate or count or cook

Shiku and Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan Shiku: Felt she had to do everything alone Shiku and Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles : She said, "I don't need no help, I can do it by myself" Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles: (spoken) Here I go! (singing) Well, time went by and Joan grew old as people sometimes will When Joan was 81 years old, she met a girl named Lil Lil said, "Joan, it's just ridiculous the things that you can't do! Joan, you're an 80 year old woman -- Time you learn to tie your shoe!"

Shiku and Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan You don't have to do everything alone You can use a little help Don't have to do it by yourself Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles: Go, Shiku!

Shiku: So Lil taught Joan to read and write and tie her shoe and more And Joan lived to the happy age of a hundred and forty four ( Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles: Wow! ) So be sure you learned a lesson From that old girl, Lonesome Joan ( Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles: What's that? ) When you're trying for the first time, You don't have to try alone

Shiku and Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan You don't have to do everything alone Shiku: You can use a little help Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles: Don't have to do it by yourself Shiku and Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles : Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Mr. Moriarty Seagoon Eccles: Yippie tie yie, pardners!
