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.
