Deep in the pocket, of an old sport coat jacket[/tab]
[tab]
I chanced to discover an old memory[/tab]
[tab]
Three for a quarter, a black and white portrait[/tab]
[tab]
Taken of Jennifer Johnson and me[/tab]
I m in the corner, my shirt collar open
Like some Latin lover, on late night TV
Smiling right there with her head on my shoulder
It s Jennifer Johnson, and she s lookin at me
It must have been summer, Ninteen Sixty Seven
The Beatles were singing "Love Is All You Need"
I held her hand as we walked through the arcade
Two young believers on a three dollar spree
CHORUS:
[tab]
Three for a quarter a black and white portrait[/tab]
[tab]
Jen, close the curtain so no one can see[/tab]
[tab]
Hey kiss me quick, cause the red light is flashing[/tab]
[tab]
It s flashing on Jennifer Johnson and Me[/tab]
Waiting on that late night train back to home
I felt her warm, in the cool evening breeze
Told her I d probably love her forever
Forever for Jennifer Johnson and Me
CHORUS:
Three for a quarter a black and white portrait
Jen, close the curtain so no one can see
Hey kiss me quick, cause the red light is flashing
It s flashing on Jennifer Johnson and Me
Three for a quarter a black and white portrait
Two young believers on a three dollar spree
[tab]
I saved your picture in my sport coat pocket[/tab]
[tab]
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me.[/tab]

Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me-------------e[/tab]
