I'm in love with Josephine Baker There's a problem she's twenty years dead What a pity that I in the prime of my life Can not love someone living instead But I've seen every one of her movies And she's lucious like island fruit And if she were alive on her lust would I thrive But she isn't, the point is moot Oh Josephine Josey the pleasures we'd have The twin toasts of Paris, your head on my lap Josephine if I can't have you I swear I'll come back I'm in love with Josephine Baker Yes it's unrealistic I know But I can't seem to find a woman alive Who is bursting with more life than Jo
