Spoken:
So you little Italian devils,
You want to know about love?
Saraghina will tell you.
If you want to make a woman happy,
You lie on what you’re born with,
Because it is in your blood.

Be Italian
Be Italian
Take a chance and
Try to steal a fiery kiss
Be Italian
Be Italian
When you hold me
Don’t just hold me but hold this

Please be gentle, sentimental
Go ahead and try to give my cheek a pat
But be daring and uncaring
When you pinch me try to pinch me
Where there’s fat
HA!

Be a singer be a lover
Pick the flower now
Before the chance is past
Be Italian
Be Italian
Live today as if
It may become your last!

Hey!
Be a singer
Be a lover
Pick the flower now
Before the chance is past
Be Italian
Be Italian
Live today as if
It may become your last!
