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

Verse 2:
C majorC       G+G        FF     C majorC  G+G
 I love your sweet hip shake thing, Josephina
C majorC      G+G      FF     C majorC  G+G
 The out-of-tune way you sing, Josephina
FF               C majorC     G+G
 I love the light and dark inside your eyes
FF            C majorC    G+G
 And the waves of your laughter
FF                C majorC        G+G     FF
 I love your sudden clutch that says, "Oh, baby, put on the brake"
         G+G       C majorC  G+G C majorC G+G
Just before your body starts to shake


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

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

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