Shel Silverstein
Jennifer Johnson and Me
[Verse 1]
Deep in the pocket of an old sport coat jacket
I chanced to discover an old memory
Three for a quarter, a black-and-white portrait
Taken of Jennifer Johnson and me

[Verse 2]
I'm in the corner with my shirt collar open
Like some Latin lover on late-night TV
Sittin' right here with her head on my shoulder
Jennifer Johnson, she's smilin' at me

[Chorus]
Three for a quarter, a black-and-white portrait
"Jen, close the curtain so no one can see
"Hey kiss me quick, 'cause the red light is flashing"
Flashing on Jennifer Johnson and me

[Verse 3]
It must have been summer, 1967
The Beatles were singing that love's all you need
I held her hand while we walked through the arcade
Two young believers on a three dollar spree

[Verse 4]
Later that night we were parked in the darkness
I felt her warmth in the cool evening breeze
I told her then that I'd love her forever
Forever for Jennifer Johnson and me
[Outro]
Three for a quarter, a black-and-white portrait
Jennifer Johnson, what a sweet memory
I saved your picture in my sport coat pocket
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me?
Oh, I saved your picture in my sport coat pocket
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me?
