Well- Well, you know I’m lying
But don’t look at me with scorn
Well, you know I’m lying
But don’t look at me with scorn
Well, I’m going back to Rome
That’s where I was born

Buy me an Italian talking parrot
Keep it for my friends
Buy me an Italian talking parrot
Keep it for my friends
Don’t talk to Italy
All around its bend

You can keep Madison Square Garden
Give me the Coliseum
You can keep Madison Square Garden
Give me the Coliseum
Don't want to see the gladiators
Man, I can always see ’em
