  			C                         F              C 
Deep in the pocket, of an old sport coat jacket 
C                                 G 
I chanced to discover an old memory 
F                      C 
Three for a quarter, a black and white portrait 
C                 G           C 
Taken of Jennifer Johnson and me 


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 

 
F                     C 
Three for a quarter a black and white portrait 
                                       G 
Jen, close the curtain so no one can see 
F                             C 
Hey kiss me quick, 'cause the red light is flashing 
     C                    G 
It's flashing on Jennifer Johnson and Me 

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 
F                      C 
I saved you picture in my sport coat pocket 
                          G           C 
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me. 
C                         G           F              C 
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me-------------e
