Not tonight ya Josephine
Don't be so mean
I like the way you look
But now I've got a date with the Duke
Not tonight ya Josephine
Don't be so mean
I'll stand on my heels for you
But now I've got a date at Waterloo
Chorus
I wanna welcome home, a welcome home
I wanna welcome home, a welcome home
I wanna welcome home when I come home again
I wanna welcome home, a welcome home
A welcome home, a welcome home
A welcome home when I come home again
Not tonight ya Cleopatra
You know what I'm after
But wait until I get back home
And now I got a date in Rome
Not tonight ya Guinevere
You whisper in my ear
Be ready willing and able
But now I got a date at the table
Chorus
I wanna welcome home, a welcome home
I wanna welcome home, a welcome home
I wanna welcome home when I come home again
I wanna welcome home, a welcome home
A welcome home, a welcome home
A welcome home when I come home again
Go a-little queenie
Break
Oh you're gonna get it tonight
You're gonna get it tonight
You're gonna get it tonight
You're gonna get it tonight
Your all gonna be the Queens of the ball
Tonights the night ya for Josephine, Cleopatra, Guinevere
They're all gonna be the Queens of the ball
So keep it safe and keep it warm don't you let it stray
A little bit of loving goes a long long way
Cool, calm, collected, erected and injected
Have no fear my pretty one you'll get what is expected
Chorus
I wanna welcome home, a welcome home
A welcome home, a welcome home
A welcome home when I come home again
I wanna welcome, I wanna welcome, I wanna welcome
I gonna get you pretty one, I'm gonna get you all alone
I wanna welcome, I wanna welcome
I wanna welcome home when I come home again
