Josephine, Please No Lean On The Bell

Josephine and Joe were so in love
Oh, so in love, so much in love
In the hall for hours they would stay
When Josephine came in, she'd hear her mother say
Refrain 1: Josefina, please no lean-a on the bell
When you moosh, please no poosh on the bell
I heard Missus Caruso telling Missus O'Flynn
Somebody keeps ringing, but nobody comes in
You can squeeze all you please, that's all right
But don't keep us from sleep ev'ry night
When you kiss in the hall, stay away from the wall
Josefina, please no lean-a on the bell.

When you come-a from work and you want-a the sup'
I'm-a cook-a the nice macaron'
Then you make-a sit down, then you make the get up
For your feller he call on the phone
You go to the park and you sit in the dark
And you make what they call-a the pet
It's a lip-a-stick here and a lip-a-stick there
You no get it from eatin' spaghett'!

You-a say-a good night about 'leven o'clock
That's-a what a good gal-a should do
But you take-a too long when you say the good night
You no finish till half-a past two
Say why you no bring-a your feller upstairs?
Ravioli with peppers I cook
You can make-a the love with the kiss and the hug
And the mom and the pop they no look.

Don't I bring-a you up and I make-a you fat
With the soup and the pasta fazool?
Now you stay up-a late and it make-a you thin
What's-a matter you make-a me fool?
Why you no get marriage and raise-a the fam'?
Then I make-a you promise I keep
I'll buy you the furnish' and pay for your rent
Then we all-a can get-a the sleep.

Josefina, please no lean-a on the bell
When you moosh, please no poosh on the bell
I heard Missus Calingo say she'd call the police
The landlord he say he's gonna break-a the lease
Hold the hand, that's-a grand and delish
Tell this guy I guess I no capish
You eat garlic so strong, how can he kiss so long?
Josefina, please no lean-a on the bell.
