Em7

We're gonna break out the hats and hooters when Josie comes home

We're gonna rev up the motor scooters when Josie comes

A/D     G/C                D/G         C/F

Home to stay.  We're gonna park in the street.

Em7

Sleep on the beach and make it.

A9             A            G/C   D/G C/G

Throw down the jam till the girls say when.

Em7                    D/G         E/A         Em7.

Lay down the law and break it when Josie comes home.

 

C/F        F#7#9 B7#5   Em7  C/F

When Josie comes home----, so good

          F#7#9        B7#5      Em7  A9

She's the pride of the neighborhood

          Am7 D9         GM7  Cm9

She's the raw flame, the live wire.

          F#7#9                  B7(#9 #5)   Em7

She prays like a Roman, with her eyes on fire

 

Jo would you love to scrapple.  She'll never say no.

Shine up the battle apple, we'll shake 'em all

Down tonight.  We're gonna mix in the street.

Strike at the stroke of midnight

Dance on the bones 'til the girls say when.

Pick up what's left by daylight, when Josie comes home.

 

When Josie comes home, so bad.

She's the best friend we ever had.

She's the raw flame, the live wire.

She prays like a Roman, with her eyes on fire.

 

When Josie comes home, so good.

She's the pride of the neighborhood.

She's the raw flame, the live wire.

She prays like a Roman, with her eyes on fire.
