A Slow Drag With Josephine
The snitch, the snoop, the tattletale
Lead a threadbare up stairs
Adieu, my little ballyhoo
You broke my heart in two
And now I haunt the bars
And scent those trite affairs
She went home to gather her comb
And caught him unawares...
And there was her man enjoying
The lay of the land
He took a walk in the dark with
A dish from the stand
Girls and their creations
Tight in the brightest grenadine
But I'd take all that I've seen
For a Slow Drag with Josephine...
Josephine, Josephine
But I'd trade all that I've seen
For a Slow Drag with Josephine...
Gavotte, garrotes,
Cotillions and slow Arabesques
Drum-rolls and Farandoles
Were all made in jest
But when you make that move
I can't resist
When will you declare your armistice?
Josephine, Josephine
But I'd trade all that I've seen
For a Slow Drag with Josephine...
In another time and place
A different fate was cast
He tried to skeddle-daddle-do
She might have slapped him
Just for saying "Grant one more
Chance before you pass"
"Then curse the nurse that named
Me the first or bury me at last..."
And in three-quarter time
The true and the false
Dancing the "Hesitation Waltz"
Then comes the "Flirtation"
And temptation
Hip, hip hooray
Listen to what I say
Then you can take it away...
