Текст песни America's a Nice Italian Name (Allan Sherman) с переводом

I live in Italy, the sky is sunny

'T'sa nice-a place. 't'sa nice-a place

And if you think the way I talk is funny

Shaddup-a you face. Shaddup-a you face

America to me is not so foreign

It’s just the same. She’s just the same

Of course you have-a no got Sophia Loren

Don’t be ashamed, don’t be ashamed

Bella, bella, atsa means-a cute

Vespa, Vespa, atsa motor scoot

And if you in a nice-a mood for some-a nice Italian food

Veal with cheese-a on it is Veal Parmigiana

The opera house in Rome is called La Scala

Is very strange. Is very strange

Ten thousand lira makes a half-a-dolla

You getta some change. You getta some change

In Venice if you do a lotta driving

Then don’t-a forget, please don’t forget

Before you drive, go study scuba diving

The streets is-a wet. The streets is-a wet

Vino, vino, atsa glass-a wine

You drink Yousef, I’ll-a drink-a mine

Vittorio DeSica makes a picture twice-a week-a

Soup with macaroni is called-a minnestrone

I wrote to Anna Maria Alberghetti

She sings-a high. Up very high

I typed the letter on my Olivetti

I don’t know why. I took a try

Dean Martin, he’s a nice Italian fella

A friend of Frank’s. A friend of Frank’s

If you give them a piece of mozzarella

They tell you thanks. A thousand thanks

Dolce, dolce, dolce means-a sweet

Grapes is-a things-a you stamp with you feet

The Tower of Pisa, she’s-a lean. A Necchi is a sewin' machine

Eat-a some lasagna, but-a don’t get any on ya

A nice-a painter was Botticelli

He’s very old, he’s very old

He’s-a paint a lady with a naked belly

She caught a cold. She caught a cold

I know a man who wrote a song, «Volare»

He gotta cash. A lotta cash

He took-a da cash and bought a new Ferrari

He made a crash. His fender smash

Gina, Gina Lollobrigida

I love her, but que sera sera

And if you see Anna Magnani with Marcello Mastroianni

Ask if you could borra some spaghetti marinara

Columbus was a nice Italian fella

He had no boats. He needed some boats

So he’s fool around with Queen Isabella

She hadda three boats. She give him the boats

The queen, she said, «Columbus, pootchy-wootchy

If you should land in some new land

Please name it for Americus Vespucci

'Cause he’s a nice Italian man

Nina, Pinta, and-a Saint Marie

Fourteen-a ninety-two they sailed the sea

They found the land and it was grand, and then Columbus he’s proclaim:

«I call this land America, a nice Italian name.»

(And that’s-a why America’s a nice Italian name.)
