Jennifer Johnson And Me

(album: Drinking From The Bottle - 1983)

Deep in the pocket of an old sport coat jacket
I chanced to discover an old memory
Three for a quarter black and white picture
Taking up Jennifer Johnson and me.

I'm in the corner with my shirt collar open
Like some latin lover on late nite TV
Sitting right there with her head on my shoulder
Jennifer Johnson she's smiling at me.

Three for a quarter black and white picture
Jenny close a curtain so no one can see
Now kiss me quick while the red light is flashing
Flashing on Jennifer Johnson and me.

It must have been summer nineteen-sixty-seven
The Beatles were singing that love's all you need
I held her hand while we walked through the arcade
Two young believers on a three dollars spree.

Later that night holding close in the darkness
I felt her warmth in the cool evening breeze
I told her I probably love her forever
Forever for Jennifer Johnson and me.

Three for a quarter black and white picture
Jenny close a curtain so no one can see
Now kiss me quick while the red light is flashing
Flashing on Jennifer Johnson and me.

Three for a quarter black and white picture
Two young believers on a three dollars spree
I'll save your picture in my sport coat pocket
Jennifer Johnson did you save one of me...
