How Do You Do Miss Josephine 1909

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 04 Sep 2005

In a quaint and ivy coloured bungalow
just about a mile from here,
lives the girl I'm always dreaming of,
she's the one I love so dear.
Ev'ry day while underneath the maple tree,
on the garden gate she'll swing,
I steal 'round and covered up her eyes,
then to her I softly sing:

How do you do Miss Josephine
how do you feel today
How is Nan?
Sister Ann?
How's your mother
and your little red head brother,
if you go for a stroll Miss Josephine
you'll know the reason why,
I love to say how do you do,
but hate to say goodbye.

How do you do Miss Josephine
how do you feel today
How is Nan?
Sister Ann?
How's your mother
and your little red head brother,
if you go for a stroll Miss Josephine
you'll know the reason why,
I love to say how do you do,
but hate to say goodbye.

Josephine had promised to elope with me,
I appeared that night at ten,
with a ladder on the balcony,
I climbed up to see her then.
She stood at the window just like Juliet,
waiting for her Romeo,
when I saw her father standing there,
then I simply said to Joe:

How do you do Miss Josephine
how do you feel today
How is Nan?
Sister Ann?
How's your mother
and your little red head brother,
if you go for a stroll Miss Josephine
you'll know the reason why,
I love to say how do you do,
but hate to say goodbye.

How do you do Miss Josephine
how do you feel today
How is Nan?
Sister Ann?
How's your mother
and your little red head brother,
if you go for a stroll Miss Josephine
you'll know the reason why,
I love to say how do you do,
but hate to say goodbye.
