I'm in love with Josephine Baker

I'm in love with Josephine Baker
There's a problem she's twenty years dead
What a pity that I in the prime of my life
Can not love someone living instead

But I've seen every one of her movies
And she's lucious like island fruit
And if she were alive on her lust would I thrive
But she isn't, the point is moot.

Oh Josephine Josey the pleasures we'd have
The twin toasts of Paris, your head on my lap
Josephine if I can't have you I swear I'll come back

I'm in love with Josephine Baker
Yes it's unrealistic I know
But I can't seem to find a woman alive
Who is bursting with more life than Jo

3. It's by a group called Fossil

I don't even think they qualify as a "One Hit Wonder" I heard it on a satellite music channel a few years ago and couldn't get it out of my head. I do so love Josephine Baker.

4. Are they any good?

If they are, I might order the CD (found it just now, but don't want to spend money if they write better than they sound.)

5. I've only heard this one song

The album is from '95 though and probably out of print. I found the song on KaZaA personally.
