Elvis Costello - A Slow Drag With Josephine Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The snitch, the snoop, the tattletale
  • Lead a threadbare up stairs
  • Adieu, my little ballyhoo
  • You broke my heart in two
  • And now I haunt the bars and scent those trite affairs
  • She went home to gather her comb
  • And caught him unawares
  • And there was her man enjoying the lay of the land
  • He took a walk in the dark with a dish from the stand
  • Girls and their creations
  • Tight in the brightest grenadine
  • But I'd take all that I've seen
  • For a Slow Drag with Josephine
  • Josephine, Josephine
  • But I'd trade all that I've seen for a Slow Drag with Josephine
  • Gavotte, garrotes, Cotillions and slow Arabesques
  • Drum-rolls and Farandoles were all made in jest
  • But when you make that move
  • I can't resist
  • When will you declare your armistice?
  • Josephine, Josephine
  • But I'd trade all that I've seen for a Slow Drag with Josephine
  • In another time and place a different fate was cast
  • He tried to skeddle-daddle-do
  • She might have slapped him
  • Just for saying "Grant one more chance before you pass"
  • "Then curse the nurse that named me the first or bury me at last"
  • And in three-quarter time
  • The true and the false
  • Dancing the "Hesitation Waltz"
  • Then comes the "Flirtation"
  • And temptation
  • Hip, hip hooray
  • Listen to what I say
  • Then you can take it away...
