′Allo, I'm-a Giuseppe

I got-a something special-a for youReady?

Uno, due, tre, quattro

When I was a boy

Just abouth the eighth-a grade

Mama used to say, "Don′t stay out-a late

With the bad-a boys

Always shoot-a pool

Giuseppe going to flunk-a school!"

Boy, it make-a me sick

All the thing I gotta do

I can't-a get-a no kicks

Always got to follow rules

Boy, it make-a me sick

Just to make the lousy bucks

Got to feel-a like a fool

And-a mama used to say all-a time

What's-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect

What-a you t′ink you do? Why you look-a so sad?

It′s-a not so bad

It's-a nice-a place

Ah Shaddap-a you face!

That′s-a my mama, I can remember!

Big accordion solo!

Ah! Play that again! Really nice

Really nice!

Soon-a come-a day

Gonna be a big-a star

Then I make-a TV shows and-a movies

Get-a myself a new car

But still I be myself

I don't want-a to change a thing

Still a-dance and a-sing

Thing about-a mama

She used to say

What′s-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect

What do you think you do? Why you look-a so sad?

It's-a not so bad

It′s-a nice-a place

Ah shaddap-a you face!

Mama, she said it all the time

What's-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect

What do you think you do? Why you look-a so sad?

It's-a not so bad

It′s-a nice-a place

Ah shaddap-a you face!

That′s-a my mama!

Hello everybody!

'At′s out-a there in-a radio and-a TV land

Did you know I had a big-a hit-a song in-a Italy with-a disc?

Shaddap-a you face

All-a my fans applaud

They clap-a da hands

That make me feel-a so good

You ought to learn-a dis-a song

It's-a real-a simple

Then I sing-a da rest
