'Allo, I'm-a Giuseppe
I got-a something special-a for you
Ready?
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!

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
