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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] your last!
