Ride on Josephine, ride on Ride on Josephine, ride on Ride on Josephine, you got a runnin' machine A-baby, baby, ride on Josephine, baby ride on Well, Josephine drivin' a hot rod Ford Twin carburetor will eat up the road Twin exhaust stickin' out the rear Somethin' that will really take away from here Ride on Josephine, ride on Ride on Josephine, ride on Ride on Josephine, you got a runnin' machine Baby, baby, ride on a-Josephine, baby ride on Josephine's Ford begin to run hot She tried to trade it in at a used car lot The man couldn't believe his natural eyes When she pulled it in to his drive Ride on, Josephine, ride on Say, Josephine! (Ride on Josephine, ride on) Josephine, child, yo' tank is leakin' gas! (Ride on Josephine, ride on) Say what? Baby, you better shut up and come on ride wit' me Ye-aah, you better ride with me You say I better mind my business? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha You my business baby, you, you good business!

Well, I-I'ma I'm drivin' a '48 Cadillac with Thunderbird wings Tellin' you baby, that's a runnin' thing I got wings that'll open and get her in the air I think I can take it away from here A-ride on Josephine, ride on Ride on, Josephine, ride on Ride on Josephine Child, you got a runnin' machine A-baby, baby, ride on Josephine, baby ride on Well, I be-, I be-, I believe you, baby 'Cause you-a, you-a, you ain't, been flagged He-he I'm goin' Goodbye!
