I don't know who's president
I don't know who's vice
I wouldn't know chop suey if it wasn't for the rice
When it comes to questions I'll admit that I'm not too bright
But I know one thing for sure and I'll bet my dough I'm right
Who is the meanest gal in town
Josephine
Who is the meanest gal around
Josephine
She's got the meanest style of walk ever known
And if you see her smile don't talk
Just let her alone
She's got the meanest pair of eyes all ablaze
And the meanest pair of hip hip hoorays
She doesn't do anything that's bad
But that's what makes me mad
She is the meanest queen I've seen
Josephine
You've heard the chatter about Cleopatra
Kept all the men around her
And Desdemona in her kimono
The nights the fella found her
If Josephine would play Juliet to some Romeo
She'd let him climb up three flights or so
Then cut the rope and let him go
Now this gal is the meanest gal who ever wore a hat
She's so mean she wouldn't give fresh water to a cat
Now if love is a burning flame this gal's an eskimo
The whole world could answer yes
This dame would answer no
Who is the meanest queen I've seen
Josephine
Who is the meanest gal in town
Josephine
She's got the meanest style of walk ever known
If you see her passing by
Just leave her alone
She's got the meanest pair of eyes all ablaze
And the meanest pair of hip hip hoorays
She doesn't do anything that's bad
But that's what makes me mad
She is the meanest queen I've seen
Josephine
She is the meanest queen I've seen
Josephine
