See the girl with the red dress on Just one look and I was long gone I asked her name, I was feeling pretty keen She said "They used to call me Joseph But now they call me Josephine" (They call me Josephine They call me Josephine) I came from Kansas I was born the preacher's son I dropped my truck in Chinatown I said "let's have some fun" I swear she's got the sweetest smile A man has ever seen She said "They used to call me Joseph But now they call me Josephine" (They call me Josephine) You know that Josephine worked security At a big club downtown And after hours we'd go dancing To the music that made no sound I said "How did you get this way?" She said "I'm in between" You know they used to call her Joseph But now they call her Josephine (They call her Josephine) Oh, mother, can you tell me How do you know? (how do you know?) What if the girl you love Who fits you like a glove Is a boy named Joe? She took me out to Dublin's And I had some sockeye buns She brought me back to her place No, don't you tell my mom I don't know what I'm feeling but But love knows how to win You know they used to call her Joseph But now I call her Josephine I call her Josephine (they used to call me Joseph) I call her Josephine (they used to call me Joseph) I call her Josephine (they used to call me Joseph) You know they used to call me Joseph They used to call me Joseph They used to call me Joseph You know they used to call me Joseph
