Hey beniamino put your gumboots on

We'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.
