Josephina

[Verse 1] Won’t you come out and play, Josephina? I missed you all yesterday, Josephina Tell your boss you need the afternoon off To go and visit a sick friend You know it wouldn’t be a lie, not at all untrue ‘Cause I’m down with a fever for you [Verse 2] I love your sweet hip shake thing, Josephina The out-of-tune way you sing, Josephina I love the light and dark inside your eyes And the waves of your laughter I love your sudden clutch that says, "Oh, baby, put on the brake" Just before your body starts to shake [Verse 3] To the market I’ll go, Josephina Buy some fresh fish for us both, Josephina I’m gonna cook you up a red hot meal We’ll eat it on the verandah And later on we’ll play some old sweet and ragged tunes And dance under the light of the moon, hey [Verse 4] I’ll get a job really soon, Josephina I know that’s what you want me to do, Josephina I’ll save my money and I’ll buy an old car We’ll head on up to the islands I hear they’re taking lots of people on all summer long And when it’s over we’ll keep moving along [Verse 5] Won’t you come over here, Josephina? This old world is good when you’re near, Josephina I know some people say you should beware I’m a ne’er-do-well time waster But I know your mother likes me and I like her too Oh, she’s the spitting image of you [Verse 6] Won’t you come out and play, Josephina? I missed you all yesterday, Josephina I love the way that you sway, Josephina
