Not Tonight, Josephine

Not Tonight Josephine
McKee/Lomeyer ©Swampgirl Music

Not tonight Josephine, I got a lot to do
Got a river full of trouble down at Waterloo
I know your heart was set on romance and I don’t mean to be mean
But not tonight, not tonight Josephine

I hate for my job to ever come between us
But life is hard when you’re a tactical genius
If you could hang on to your languid charms
Tomorrow I’ll be right back in your arms

I've never been one for making excuses
But if I could just negotiate this little bitty truce
We'd sip Mint Juleps, eat cherry parfaits
And not come home for a hundred days



Well, old Duke and the boys they wanna carry on
But I'll wrap it up before too long
Grab some wine and I'll tell you what
You & me'll celebrate the coup d'etat
But not tonight Josephine, I got a lot to do
Got a river full of trouble down at Waterloo
I know your heart was set on some romance and I don’t mean to be mean
But not tonight, not tonight Josephine
I got too much to do
Got a river full of trouble down at Waterloo
I know your heart was set on romance and I don’t mean to be mean
But not tonight, not tonight, not tonight Josephine
