Jennifer Johnson and Me

(Shel Silverstein - Fred Koller)



Deep in the pocket of an old sport coat jacket

I chanced to discover an old memory

Three for a quarter black and white picture

Takin' up Jennifer Johnson and me.



I'm in the corner with my shirt collar open

Like some latin lover on late nite TV

Sittin' right there with her head on my shoulder

Jennifer Johnson she's smilin' 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...
