Hello, I'm-a Giuseppe
I got-a something
special-a for you, ready
Uno, duo, tre, quatro
When I was a boy,
just about 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
t'ing 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-a
lousy bucks
Got to feel-a
like a fool
And-a mama used
to say all-a time:
What's-a matter
you, hey!
Got-a no respect
What-a 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,
I can remember
Big accordion solo
Ah! Play dat 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
I think about-a mama,
she used to say
What's-a matter
you, hey!
Got-a no respect
What-a 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-a da time
What's-a matter
you, hey!
Got-a no respect
What-a 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
