[00:00:00] A Slow Drag With Josephine - Elvis Costello

[00:00:00] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:05] The snitch the snoop the tattletale

[00:00:07] Lead a threadbare up stairs

[00:00:10] Adieu my little ballyhoo

[00:00:12] You broke my heart in two

[00:00:14] And now I haunt the bars and scent those trite affairs

[00:00:19] She went home to gather her comb

[00:00:22] And caught him unawares

[00:00:25] And there was her man enjoying the lay of the land

[00:00:30] He took a walk in the dark with a dish from the stand

[00:00:34] Girls and their creations

[00:00:37] Tight in the brightest grenadine

[00:00:42] But I'd take all that I've seen

[00:00:44] For a slow drag with Josephine

[00:00:48] Josephine Josephine

[00:00:53] But I'd trade all that I've seen

[00:00:55] For a slow drag with Josephine

[00:00:59] Gavotte garrotes cotillions and slow arabesques

[00:01:04] Drum rolls and farandoles were all made in jest

[00:01:09] But when you make that move

[00:01:11] I can't resist

[00:01:14] When will you declare your armistice

[00:01:18] Josephine Josephine

[00:01:23] But I'd trade all that I've seen

[00:01:25] For a slow drag with Josephine

[00:01:31] In another time and place a different fate was cast

[00:01:36] He tried to skeddle daddle do

[00:01:38] She might have slapped him

[00:01:40] Just for saying grant one more chance before you pass

[00:01:45] Then curse the nurse that named me the first or bury me at last

[00:01:52] And in three quarter time

[00:01:53] The true and the false

[00:01:56] Dancing the hesitation waltz

[00:02:01] Then comes the flirtation and temptation

[00:02:05] Hip hip hooray

[00:02:08] Listen to what I say

[00:02:10] Then you can take it away
