Josephine

There never was a gal I could love, like I love my Josephine

She's a flirt, she's a scamp, she's the vampiest vamp I've ever seen

It seems to me she's always flirting with the fellows passing by

But when I say she winks, then she tells me she thinks

There's a cinder in her eye

I believe it would be better if I'd leave her and forget

Everybody says it would be wise

But each time that I go out to dance with somebody else

I find myself dancing with tears in my eyes

For there's nobody quite so nice who can be quite so mean

As my gal, what a gal, Josephine
