Cyndi said: During the tour, I talked to the guys about the discrimination that they faced, and I figured that maybe I should write a song for them. I wanted to make it a dance song to celebrate them. It became “Ballad of Cleo and Joe.”

Lyrics:
Every morning the clock kicks off the beat.
Little Joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
Waits in his platforms for the right train to come.
Sipping his coffee another day has begun
Little Joe got work for minimum wage
Tries to get through another dead beat day
At five a clock he comes home to change
Takes him many hours just to rearrange
And he works his body just to be somebody
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream
And he works his body and he feels somebody
And the working boy becomes a dancing queen
And he works his body just to be somebody.
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream.
And he works his body just to feel somebody
And the working boy becomes a dancing queen.
Every night the DJ kicks off the beat.
Little Cleo's jumping just to get up on her feet.
Waits in her platforms for the right song to come.
Sipping her cocktail another night has begun.
And he works his body just to be somebody.
There's a woman in the mirror looking like a dream.
And he works his body and he feels somebody
And the working boy became a dancing queen.
Every morning the clock kicks off the beat
Little Joe struggles just to get up on his feet.
Waits in his platforms for the right train to come...

The Queen CYNDI LAUPER

[@SIBIRIAKcom]

I don't understand. Why wasn't it a big hit? Today probably it could hit high.

[@popland1977]

Such an underrated album

[@kindspirit7]

Yes I agree. I thought for sure You Don't Know and Hot and Cold would get airplay instead of just at dance clubs. But when the studio does not promote albums this is what happens. Only true diehard Cyn fans hear the songs and album and the rest of the world never gets to hear it on airplay and buy the LP. Such a shame.

[@rayman760]

Oh gosh where do you start picking the best tunes from that album? You Don't Know, Fall Into Your Dreams, Love To Hate, Hot Gets A Little Cold, Unhook The Stars....I could name the whole album at this point lol.

[@olegpetrov2617]

I like her all albums for long time.

[@pablocesriquelme]

What a genius! I’ve always loved this track, but this live version is supreme.

[@cawad43]

AMAZING live performance...and thank you for uploading a much clearer version than what was out there....Emmy, Tony and Grammy winner....!!!!

Pregnant? God bless this baby, Cindy 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@user-dp6rv4ki9g]

Maybe 39 years ago? I remember bought your first cassette tape. If I still listen to your song, a journey into memories begins. ~ forever~Cindy~ forever~ (from your eternal fan in South Korea)

[@whoknowsyimme]

This is such a beautiful song and performance (one of MANY). But then, Cyndi always gives 1000% to whatever she does.❤ I can say with absolute certainty that I never had that kind of energy during either of my pregnancies (at ages 34 and 36), even on my best days! He'll, I'm not even pregnant and, at 39, I STILL don't have that kind of energy. What a force this woman is! It's both impressive and inspiring. 😍

[@isadoraa2292]

Queen!
