Текст Paul Kelly — Josephina

[Verse 1]
Won’t you come out and play, Josephina?
I missed you all yesterday, Josephina
Tell your boss you need the afternoon off
To go and visit a sick friend
You know it wouldn’t be a lie, not at all untrue
‘Cause I’m down with a fever for you

[Verse 2]
I love your sweet hip shake thing, Josephina
The out-of-tune way you sing, Josephina
I love the light and dark inside your eyes
And the waves of your laughter
I love your sudden clutch that says, «Oh, baby, put on the brake»
Just before your body starts to shake

[Verse 3]
To the market I’ll go, Josephina
Buy some fresh fish for us both, Josephina
I’m gonna cook you up a red hot meal
We’ll eat it on the verandah
And later on we’ll play some old sweet and ragged tunes
And dance under the light of the moon, hey

[Verse 4]
I’ll get a job really soon, Josephina
I know that’s what you want me to do, Josephina
I’ll save my money and I’ll buy an old car
We’ll head on up to the islands
I hear they’re taking lots of people on all summer long
And when it’s over we’ll keep moving along

[Verse 5]
Won’t you come over here, Josephina?
This old world is good when you’re near, Josephina
I know some people say you should beware
I’m a ne’er-do-well time waster
But I know your mother likes me and I like her too
Oh, she’s the spitting image of you

[Verse 6]
Won’t you come out and play, Josephina?
I missed you all yesterday, Josephina
I love the way that you sway, Josephina
