A Slow Drag With Josephine - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Written by：Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

The snitch the snoop the tattletale[00:00:05]

Lead a threadbare up stairs[00:00:07]

Adieu my little ballyhoo[00:00:10]

You broke my heart in two[00:00:12]

And now I haunt the bars and scent those trite affairs[00:00:14]

She went home to gather her comb[00:00:19]

And caught him unawares[00:00:22]

And there was her man enjoying the lay of the land[00:00:25]

He took a walk in the dark with a dish from the stand[00:00:30]

Girls and their creations[00:00:34]

Tight in the brightest grenadine[00:00:37]

But I'd take all that I've seen[00:00:42]

For a slow drag with Josephine[00:00:44]

Josephine Josephine[00:00:48]

But I'd trade all that I've seen[00:00:53]

For a slow drag with Josephine[00:00:55]

Gavotte garrotes cotillions and slow arabesques[00:00:59]

Drum rolls and farandoles were all made in jest[00:01:04]

But when you make that move[00:01:09]

I can't resist[00:01:11]

When will you declare your armistice[00:01:14]

Josephine Josephine[00:01:18]

But I'd trade all that I've seen[00:01:23]

For a slow drag with Josephine[00:01:25]

In another time and place a different fate was cast[00:01:31]

He tried to skeddle daddle do[00:01:36]

She might have slapped him[00:01:38]

Just for saying grant one more chance before you pass[00:01:40]

Then curse the nurse that named me the first or bury me at last[00:01:45]

And in three quarter time[00:01:52]

The true and the false[00:01:53]

Dancing the hesitation waltz[00:01:56]

Then comes the flirtation and temptation[00:02:01]

Hip hip hooray[00:02:05]

Listen to what I say[00:02:08]

Then you can take it away[00:02:10]
