[1st verse:]
|
I no rave about Italy
|
I no talk about my country
|
Any place is the same to me
|
Just so long I got enough to eat
|
But I'd like-a to tell you dis
|
I'm-a kiss-a da plenty miss
|
But of all-a da sweet-a kiss
|
There's-a one got the world-a beat
|
|
[1st refrain:]
|
When you kiss an Italian gal, boss
|
Oh! you feel-a
|
Well, I don't know how to tell-a
|
But you get so excite
|
You go home that night
|
And put your left-a shoe upon the foot what is right
|
Let an Italian gal, boss
|
Kiss-a you upon the cheek
|
And you won't wash your face for a long-a time
|
'Cause it feel-a so swell
|
When you kiss an Italian gal
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
My sweetheart-a look like a freak
|
Got a face-a just like next week
|
But the minute I kiss the cheek
|
Right away she look like Anna Hel'
|
Married men, if you got da strife
|
You can lead-a da happy life
|
Ev'ry time that you kiss your wife
|
Think of an Italian-a gal
|
|
[2nd refrain:]
|
When you kiss an Italian gal, boss
|
Oh! you feel-a
|
Well, I don't know how to tell-a
|
But before much-a long
|
You feel-a so strong
|
You go and choke da monk until he sing-a da song
|
Let an Italian gal, boss
|
Kiss-a you upon the cheek
|
And you won't wash your face for a long-a time
|
'Cause it feel-a so swell
|
When you kiss an Italian gal
|
