I had a friend called Joe

When friends were hard to find

He had a restless soul

With something on his mind



One day I went away

And when returned to the scene

Not to find restless Joe, no

But to find Josephine



I asked her what her game was

She said Joe had left the scene

I asked her what her name was

She said, they call me Josephine

Josephine

Josephine



It took a while to click

But then I got the gist

The girl by my side

Was the guy I'd missed

I took her for a beer

To talk about old times

Just to find the beer, dear

Was now a sweet white wine



I asked her what her game was

She said Joe had left the scene

I asked her what her name was

She said they call me Josephine

Josephine

Josephine

Josephine



So we talked all night

And we just can't pretend

Although I lost old Joe, yo

I've got a new girlfriend



I asked her what her game was

She said Joe had left the scene

I asked her what her name was

She said they call me Josephine



I asked her what her game was

She said Joe had left the scene

I asked her what her name was

She said they call me Josephine

Josephine

Josephine

Josephine
