Josephine
Jo-o-o-o-osephine
Commonly called "Jo" (Josephine)
Was a throbbin' robin, poor but chic
Born in ultry-sulty Martinique
Yet she rose to reach the highest peak (And why so)

('Cause she had) Agitating eyes
Titillating thighs
Lubricating lips
Undulating hips
A figure simply swell
Plus other good points as well
Man she was real cool and low

Jo-o-o-o-osephine
Commonly called "Jo" (Josephine)
Tripped away one day to Paris, France
In her ye ol' creole fancy pants
Where she rocked Napoleon at a dance (And why so)


('Cause shе had) Agitating eyes (What eyеs)
Titillating thighs (What thighs)
Lubricating lips (What lips)
Undulating hips (What hips)
A figure simply swell
Plus other good points as well
Man she was real cool and low
Why did the great Napoleon fall
For a hot gavotte
What did the doll have on the ball
Other dolls had not
Why did the mighty man succumb
To this curvy wench
Why did he make this little bum
Empress of the French
