Was a throbbin' robin, poor but chic,
Born in ultry-sultry Martinique,
Yet she rose to reach the highest peak,

And why so?
'Cause she had

Josephine:
Agitating eyes,
Titillating thighs,
Lubricating lips,
Undulating hips,
A figure simply swell,
Plus other good points as well.

All:
Man, she was real cool and low!

Tripped away one day to Paris, France,
In her ye olde Creole fancy pants,
Where she rocked Napoleon at a dance

Josephine:
Why did the great Napoleon fall
For her hot gavotte?
What did the doll have on the ball
Other dolls had not?
Why did the mighty man succumb
To this curvy wench?
Why did he make this little bum

"War and Peace" Version

Jo-o-o-o-osephine,
Lost in the deep snow,
As the winter wind blows on and on
And by wolves I may be set upon,
I'm an empress rather woebegone,
And why so?
'Cause there is snow ev'rywhere,
Snow in my hair,
Snow in my clo'es
And snow up my nose.
Poor Josephine,
Lost in the snow!
