Lyrics and translation
Original
Don't you know what I mean, when I say that I love you Josephine?
Yeah, Josephine.
Nothing I say does justice to you, or lights up the day the way that you do,
Josephine.
Like a beautiful queen, you deserve a crown my Josephine.
Yeah, Josephine.
Well, I pick up the phone and give you a call.
You come around with your sneakers and all, Josephine.
Well, sit right back, suppose I went away.
Oh, honey. Would your love turn sour and moldy green?
Would I take from you the light of day?
Well, I may say, my Josephine.
You arrived on the scene. You made me glad I'm alive my Josephine.
Yeah, Josephine.
Well, nothing I say does full justice to you, or lights up the day the way that you do, Josephine. Oh, Josephine.
Well, sit right back, suppose I went away.
Oh, honey. Would your love turn sour and moldy green?
Would I take from you the light of day?
Well, I may say, my Josephine.
You arrived on the scene.
You made me glad I'm alive my Josephine.
Yeah, Josephine.
Well, I pick up the phone and give you a call.
You come around with your sneakers and all, Josephine.
Yeah, that's my Josephine.
Thank you.
Thank you
