Everybody Wants to Dance Like Josephine Baker

Josephine, you're the queen, ah ah
Josephine Baker, ah ah ah
What a scene, Josephine, on the stage
Let it go josephine, you're the queen

Josephine, you're the queen, ah ah
(Josephine Baker) josephine Baker, ah ah ah
(born in St louis 1906)
What a scene, Josephine on the stage
Let it go (died in Paris 1974)
Josephine, you're the queen
(ambition: the world)

Way back in the thirties
Long before you were born
There was a girl called Josephine
(Josephine, Josephine, Josephine)

Just a skinny little black girl
'cause when she danced, she shook the world
Never heard of self-control
But to the floor in bed just slow
(Everybody stopped and stared but Josephine
She didn't care)

Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker
(lose your self-control
Feel it in your soul)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker
(s'il vous plaît ma sœur
Vous êtes très très belle)

Josephine arrived in Paris
She took to the stage
Mouths fell open, and hearts were broken
And many a word were spoken in rage

Who is that skinny little black girl?
Does anybody know her name?
She dances like she doesn't have
A care in the world
She dances like she has no shame

Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker
(lose your self-control
Feel it in your soul)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker
(s'il vous plaît ma sœur
Vous êtes très très belle)

Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker
(lose your self-control
Feel it in your soul)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine
(oh la la ç'est bon, tant fort tant et tant)

Josephine, you're the queen, ah ah
(just after war broke out in Europe
Josephine disappeared)
Josephine Baker, ah ah ah
(for two years, no-one knew her whereabouts)
What a scene, Josephine, on the stage
Let it go (when she returned
She was awarded the Purple Heart)
Josephine, you're the queen
(for service to her country)

Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker
(lose your self-control
Feel it in your soul)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker
(s'il vous plaît ma sœur
Vous êtes très très belle)

Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker
(lose your self-control
Feel it in your soul)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine
(oh la la ç'est bon, tant fort tant et tant)
