Say it ain´t so Jo, please, say it ain´t so
That´s not what I wanna hear Jo
And I got a right to know
Say it ain´t so Jo, please, say it ain´t so
I´m sure they´re telling us lies Jo
Please tell us it ain´t so

They told us that our hero has played his trump card
He doesn´t know how to go on
We´re clinging to his charm and determined smile
The good old days have gone

The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man´s word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce

Say it ain´t so Jo, please, say it ain´t so
We pinned our hopes on you Jo
And they´re ruining our show

Ooh baby don´t you think
We´re gonna get burned
Ooh baby don´t you think
We´re gonna get burned
We´re gonna get turned
We´re gonna get burned
Yes we´re gonna get turned
We´re gonna get burned
We´re gonna get turned
Yes, we´re gonna get burned
We´re gonna get burned
We´re gonna get burned
Yes we´re gonna get turned
We´re gonna get burned

Say it ain´t so Jo, please, say it ain´t so
That´s not what I wanna hear Jo
And I got a right to know
Say it ain´t so Jo, please, say it ain´t so
I´m sure they´re telling us lies Jo
Please tell us it ain´t so

Say it ain´t so Jo, please, say it ain´t so
That´s not what I wanna hear Jo
And I got a right to know
Say it ain´t so Jo, please, say it ain´t so
I´m sure they´re telling us lies Jo
Please tell us it ain´t so

Say it ain´t so
