Eh Beniamino Testo

Hey beniamino put your gumboots onWe're going rowing today
We can take a gondola to San Polo
To see what we can see


We'll giggle at the tourists on the Rialto
Americani or no
I'll buy you ghiaccioli by barrowload
Just don't tell you-know-who.


Ah-ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Amato
Ah-ah ah ah-ah ah ah ah
Carino


Look at all the people on the waterfront
Must be carnival day
We can paint your face like a Picasso
And join the masquerade.


Hey ragazzino pull your hat-brim down
We're playing nascondino
We can take a ferry to the terminal
And go where we want to go


Oh-oh oh oh oh oh oh ah oh
Oh-oh oh oh oh oh oh ah oh


Hey mio cattivo don't you look so glum
Mama won't take offence
She doesn't really love you now your sister's born
And she loves me even less


Ah-ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
I confess
Ah-ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
It's a fucking mess.
