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 (Josephine Baker)
Ah-ah, Josephine Baker, ah-ah-ah (born in Saint-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's stopped and stared but Josephine, she didn't care)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker (just like Josephine)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker (just like Josephine, Josephine)
Josephine arrived in Paris
She took to the stage
Mouths fell open and hearts were broken
And many words were spoken in range
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 (just like Josephine)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker (just like Josephine, Josephine)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker (just like Josephine)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine (you wanna dance like Josephine)
(Hey)
[sample of the real Josephine Baker]
Josephine, you're the queen (just after war, look out with the jewel)
Ah-ah, Josephine Baker, ah-ah-ah (Josephine disappeared for two years)
What a scene, Josephine on the stage, let it go (no one knew nowhere about)
Josephine, you're the queen (when she returned she was awarded, the Purple Heart, the service to our country)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker (just like Josephine)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker (just like Josephine, Josephine)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker (just like Josephine)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine (you wanna dance like Josephine)
VANAF 3:33 tot 3:50 min.
To the hip hop, make-a the feet, jumpin' down to the funky the beat
You don't give a damn what the people said
She just do her own thing 'cause she like it that way
For the family where she give him birth before the world should die when she had enough
To the hip hop, make-a the feet, jumpin' down to the funky the beat, let's dance
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker (just like Josephine)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine (you wanna dance like Josephine)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker (you wanna lose control)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker (just like Josephine, Josephine)
Everybody wants to dance like Josephine Baker
