SWEET JOSEPHINE (Pete Ham)
[from "Acoustic" - recorded 1974 - released 2025]

There is a young musician
With an even younger face
Aware of his position
And he's carved himself a place
A walking, talking goldmine
With fifty-carat eyes
Controls a teenage nation with his style

There is a shorthand typist
With even shorter hair
With really good credentials
She's so much class to spare
A smile that drives men crazy
A conversation queen
She was the fairest forty ever seen
He said, "will you be my girl, sweet Josephine?"

There is a young musician
With an even younger face
Aware of his position
And he's carved himself a place
A walking, talking goldmine
With fifty-carat eyes
Controls a teenage nation with his style
