JOSIE
Album:  Aja (1978)
Steely Dan


We're gonna break out the hats and hooters 
When Josie comes home 
We're gonna rev up the motor scooters 
When Josie comes home to stay 
We're gonna park in the street 
Sleep on the beach and make it 
Throw down the jam till the girls say when 
Lay down the law and break it 
When Josie comes home 

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 

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 till 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
