I had a friend called Joe
When friends were hard to find
He had a restless soul
With something on his mind

One day I went away
And when returned to the scene
Not to find restless Joe, no
But to find Josephine

I asked her what her game was
She said Joe had left the scene
I asked her what her name was
She said, they call me Josephine
Josephine
Josephine

It took a while to click
But then I got the gist
The girl by my side
Was the guy I'd missed
I took her for a beer
To talk about old times
Just to find the beer, dear
Was now a sweet white wine

I asked her what her game was
She said Joe had left the scene
I asked her what her name was
She said they call me Josephine
Josephine
Josephine
Josephine

So we talked all night
And we just can't pretend
Although I lost old Joe, yo
I've got a new girlfriend

I asked her what her game was
She said Joe had left the scene
I asked her what her name was
She said they call me Josephine

I asked her what her game was
She said Joe had left the scene
I asked her what her name was
She said they call me Josephine
Josephine
Josephine
Josephine
