At The Last Barbers Ball 1920 Italian Dialect Song

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 14 Sep 2005

Joe the barba man for ten a years
he give a ball,
now he say just a one a more
I give is all
because we can no drink
unless it's from the sink.
Now he make the kick
because he no sella da tick
dance hall and music
cost so much a make him sick
but he no give up yet
Mebby mebby they make a the wet.

At the ball at the ball
at the last barber's ball
we will dance then we say farewell to all
remember last a year's
the nice a time we had
we drink and we shim
and we all feel a glad
since the beer lost da "pep"
no more life in da step
just a make your mouth wet
and that's a all
now that booze is on the bum
we will have to drink bay rum
so be there at the last barbers ball.

At the ball at the ball
at the last barber's ball
we will dance then we say farewell to all
remember last a year's
the nice a time we had
we drink and we shim
and we all feel a glad
since the beer lost da "pep"
no more life in da step
just a make your mouth wet
and that's a all
now that booze is on the bum
we will have to drink bay rum
so be there at the last barbers ball.

Philip the shine a guy a tell a Joe
you tak the risk
now all a time he say
the ball its proibish
the dance is gone skaboosh
and now they do the cooch.
Sister Maryooch a patroness
of the comit
bring plenty gal
so mabe Joe he maka the hit
do business bye and bye
but they all time a spik a the dry.

At the ball at the ball
at the last barber's ball
we will dance then we say farewell to all
remember last a year's
the nice a time we had
we drink and we shim
and we all feel a glad
since the beer lost da "pep"
no more life in da step
just a make your mouth wet
and that's a all
now that booze is on the bum
we will have to drink bay rum
so be there at the last barbers ball.
