作词 : Costello 作曲 : Costello 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
