Oh the love bug bit and bit me good
I'm doing things I never should
Since I met my Josephine
Cutest gal I've ever seen
She can be so bad or be so nice
Can be so warm or cold as ice
But my life won't be serene
Till I get my Josephine

There never was a gal I could love
Like I love my Josephine
She's a flirt, she's a scamp
She's the vampiest vamp I've ever seen
It seems to me she's always flirting
With the fellows passing by
But when I say she winks
Then she tells me she thinks
There's a cinder in her eye
I believe it would be better
If I'd leave her and forget
Everybody says it would be wise
But each time that I go out
To dance with somebody else
I find myself dancing
with tears in my eyes
For there's nobody quite so nice
Who can be quite so mean
As my gal, what a gal, Josephine

There never was a gal I could love
Like I love my Josephine
She's a flirt, she's a scamp
She's the vampiest vamp I've ever seen
It seems to me she's always flirting
With the fellows passing by
But when I say she winks
Then she tells me she thinks
There's a cinder in her eye
I believe it would be better
If I'd leave her and forget
Everybody says it would be wise
But each time that I go out
To dance with somebody else
I find myself dancing
with tears in my eyes
For there's nobody quite so nice
Who can be quite so mean
As my gal, what a gal, Josephine
