ITALY

WHEN I GO TO ITALY
I LOVE TO VISIT ROME
BECAUSE I AM ITALIAN
IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE HOME

I LIKE TO TAKE A STROLL
ALONG THE VIA VENETO
IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN
YOU REALLY OUGHT TO GO

THE VATICAN, OF COURSE
IS SPLENDID AND UNIQUE
THE SISTINE CHAPEL
DESERVES MORE THAN A PEEK

DON’T FORGET TO TOSS A COIN
IN THE FAMOUS FOUNTAIN TREVI
IT MEANS YOU WILL RETURN TO ROME
TO THAT YOU SAY SI SI

A RESTAURANT I LIKE
IS CALLED TRE SCALINI
IT IS IN PIAZZA NAVONA
AND YOU MUST TRY THE FETTUCINI

THE FABULOUS SPANISH STEPS
ARE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY
THEY ARE ALWLAYS FULL OF FLOWERS
IT MAKES THE AREA PRETTY

PRETEND YOU ARE A ROMAN
FOR JUST A WEEK OR SO
YOU HAVE TO VISIT THE FORUM
THEN STAY AT THE PONTE SISTO

THE ANCIENT COLISEUM
IS A WONDER TO BEHOLD
AN INCREDIBLE EDIFICE
FOR SOMETHING SO VERY OLD

WHEN YOU SPEAK TO A ROMAN
IT IS POLITE TO SAY CIAO
THEN TAKE HER BY THE HAND
AND SHARE A NICE GELATO

AND WHEN YOUR TRIP IS OVER
SAY TO YOUR NEW AMICI
A VERY, VERY FOND
ARRIVERDICI
