I was watching TV late last nightAnd a scene transported meLong gone figures came back to lifeIn a documentaryThough I saw them dance for joyI was sad I missed that showIf I had a time machineI know just where I'd goCHORUSI was born too late to see Josephine BakerDancing in a Paris cabaretBorn too late to see Josephine BakerShe must have been great in her heydayNow some they stand out from a crowdEven at an early ageI suppose that her call was loud'Cause she just lit up the stageYou can put on all that glossAnd still not have to feelWhat's inside will come acrossAnd only real is realCHORUSLetras de cancionesI'm sometimes trapped by the close confinesOf the age I'm born intoThough there were others worse than mineWell I miss what I can't doJoin the feast of Ancient GreeceSee Alexander's LibraryMaybe clink a champagne toastWith a jazz age dancing queenCHORUSIn black and white film you can't mistake herShe must have been great in her heyday From Letras Mania
