Josephina

(アルバム： Life Is Fine - 2017)

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
