Josephine Baker Songtext
von Sailor

Well, it′s Paris again, but this time it's fall
Misty and cool but alive
I′ve been to the sights from the Louvre to Pigalle
Just waiting for night to arrive
For all the papers and posters I've seen
They talk of nothing else but Josephine
Down at the Folies Bergère, that lustrous haven

Come, come and see Josephine Baker

Oh, long live Josephine
She stunned the world at the Folies Bergère
Soft lights, they shine all night, down on Josephine
She fills the guys with thrills and sensual delight


Night after night, I'm back in the stalls
Spending my francs like a fool
The box-office girl knows me by my first name
And winks at me just to be cruel
But every time that curtain goes up
You see those legs and her feather fan
Just drop down from her thighs to the floor
Oh, boy!

Come, come and see Josephine Baker

Oh, long live Josephine
She stunned the world at the Folies Bergère
Soft lights, they shine all night, down on Josephine
She fills the guys with thrills and sensual delight

Mesdames et messieurs, les Folies Bergère
Vous presentent Mademoiselle Josephine Baker

Come, come and see Josephine Baker

Oh, long live Josephine
She stunned the world at the Folies Bergère
Soft lights, they shine all night, down on Josephine
She fills the guys with thrills and sensual delight
Come, come and see Josephine Baker
Oh, long live Josephine
She stunned the world at the Folies Bergère

Bye-bye, Paris! Bye-bye, Josephine!
