Joséphine

Her dad, a pure Mexican, was born near Bayonne
Her mom, a native of Beijing, lived in a house next to Romorantin
That's where one night at midnight arrived the beautiful Josephine
She grew up, so fine, so fine that soon it was just a scream

She had a slim waist, Josephine, Josephine
(She had a slim waist)
As slim as a reed
(As slim as a reed)
She had a chest, Josephine, Josephine
(She had a chest)
Better than the Venus de Milo
(Better than the Venus de Milo)

And in the dance halls, all the guys from the neighborhood
Fought for the honor of dancing with her
So cuddly, so sly, Jose, Jose, Josephine
Because with her slim waist, Josephine, Josephine
She danced better than everyone
The boogie-woogie and the blues
The boogie-woogie and the blues

All the guys were crazy about her
But she, she didn't love anyone
She said 'Love, I don't believe in it'
Because flirting annoyed her and put her in all states
But one day, like in novels
She found a strange athlete
A Tarzan with perfect lines
And everywhere, it is now said:
She no longer has a slim waist, Josephine, Josephine
(She no longer has a slim waist)
It's even worrying
(It's even worrying)

She has a strange look, Josephine, Josephine
(She has a strange look)
Nonchalantly, obviously
(Nonchalantly, obviously)

But you all surely guessed
That Josephine one day became a mother
So cuddly, so sly, Jose, Jose, Josephine
Mother of a pretty, very nice girl
Who, like her mother Josephine,
Will have a slim waist...
And will dance better than everyone
The boogie-woogie... and the blues
