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 carburator 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 nat`ral 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 got business baby, you, you good business!
I just lo-oo-oo-ve good business! (it`s sho` good)
(Oh, yeah)
You say, what kind of car I drivin`? (maroon `40 Ford)
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 bl, bl, believe you, baby
`Cause you-a, you-a, you ain`t, been flagged
he-he

I`m goin`

Goodbye!

hee-hee.
