"Jennifer Johnson And Me" lyrics

Jennifer Johnson And Me

Deep in the pocket
Of an old sport coat jacket
I chanced to discover an old memory
Three for a quarter
Black and white portrait
Taking up Jennifer Johnson and me

I'm in the corner
With my shirt collar open
Like some latin lover on late night TV
Sitting right there
With her head on my shoulder
Jennifer Johnson she's smiling at me

Three for a quarter
Black and white picture
Jenny close a curtain
So no one can see
Now kiss me quick
While the red light is flashing
Flashing on Jennifer Johnson and me

It must have been summer
Nineteen-sixty-seven
The Beatles were singing
That love's all you need
I held her hand
While we walked through the arcade
Two young believers
On a three dollars spree

Later that night
Holding close in the darkness
I felt her warmth
In the cool evening breeze
I told her I probably
Love her forever
Forever for Jennifer Johnson and me

Three for a quarter
Black and white picture
Jenny close a curtain
So no one can see
Now kiss me quick
While the red light is flashing
Flashing on Jennifer Johnson and me

Three for a quarter
Black and white picture
Two young believers
On a three dollars spree
I'll save your picture
In my sport coat pocket
Jennifer Johnson
Did you save one of me
