Track 7 from their classic sixth album, “Aja” copyright 1977 MCA Records. This album was their biggest-selling and the first to achieve Platinum status, going on to sell 5,000,000 copies and counting. It received high sales and critical acclaim on its release and saw the band at their peak. It set a new benchmark for high production values, winning a Grammy for Best Engineered Non-Classical Recording. Multiple session musicians, many of whom they’d worked with on previous albums, were again brought in to contribute their best. The album was selected in 2010 to be included in the “United States National Recording Registry” as a significant contribution to American culture. Written by Walter Becker & Donald Fagen and produced by Gary Katz.

We're gonna break out the hats and hooters when Josie comes home
We're gonna rev up the motor scooters when Josie comes (home to stay)
We're gonna (park in the street)
Sleep on the beach and make it, throw down the jam till the girls say when
Lay down the law and break it when Josie comes home
When Josie comes home, so good
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the (raw flame) the (live wire)
She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire
Jo, would you love to scrapple, she'll never say no, no
Shine up the battle apple, we'll shake 'em all (down tonight)
(We're gonna mix in the street)
Strike at the stroke of midnight, dance on the bones till the (girls say when)
Pick up what's left by daylight when Josie comes home
When Josie comes home, so bad
She's the best friend we never had
She's the (raw flame) the (live wire)
She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire
When Josie comes home, so good
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the (raw flame) the (live wire)
She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire
