| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| Won’t you come out and play, Josephina?
|
| I missed you all yesterday, Josephina
|
| I love the way that you sway, Josephina |
