SWEET JOSEPHINE (Pete Ham)

There is a young musician

With an even younger face

[Who wears a disposition]

And he's got himself a place

A walking, talking goldmine

With fifty-carat eyes

Controls a teenage nation with his style


There is a shorthand typist

With even shorter hair

With really good credentials

She's so much class to spare

A smile that drives men crazy

A conversation queen

She was the [fairest ____y] ever seen


And he said, will you be my girl, sweet Josephine?
