Skinny Lena
E si voi venì te port a Brookalina
Ti faro verdè i vorn e Musolina
E gir', e gir", e gir' la-ri-la-la
Mannagg' u' chooch e sodera
La femmina se' fatte pe' mangia'
E uomo so' fatte pe' gettare' lu sangue a fatica'
Magga portat' a lu' movina picha per se fare diverti'
M'ha chiamata " sonamongona " e m'ha fatt' scompari'
E gir', e gir", e gir' la-ri-la-la
Mannagg' u scarps' 'e padera
Li femmina so' fatte per mangia'
E l'omme so fatte per gettare' lu sangue a fatica'
I love you, my skinny Lena
But people stop and stare
You look just like a broomstick
With a great big mop of hair
When I take you to a party
You should look just like a dream
But oh, my little cagootsa
You look like Halloween
Oh why, oh why
Do people stop and stare
There must be something missing
A little here, a little there
Magga portat' a lu' sona vare per se fare diverti'
M'ha comma se briaggada m'ha fatta scompari'
E gir', e gir", e gir' la-ri-la-la
Mannagg' a pancia momada
Li femmina so' fatte per mangia'
E l'omme so fatte per gettare' lu sangue a fatica'
Ti faro verdè i vorn e Musolina
E gir', e gir", e gir' la-ri-la-la
Mannagg' u' chooch e sodera
La femmina se' fatte pe' mangia'
E uomo so' fatte pe' gettare' lu sangue a fatica'
Magga portat' a lu' movina picha per se fare diverti'
M'ha chiamata " sonamongona " e m'ha fatt' scompari'
E gir', e gir", e gir' la-ri-la-la
Mannagg' u scarps' 'e padera
