Poppa Piccolino 1952 Pearl Carr

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 29 Apr 2003

Oh listen to the music
I hear old Poppa Piccolino is near
to win a smile or maybe a tear
before travelling on.
A vagabond who wanders along
a millionaire but only in song
as though the world might really
belong to him.
This fellow plays a melody so mellow
that ev'ryone keeps shouting:
"Bello Bello."

All over Italy they know his concertina,
Poppa Piccolino, Poppa Piccolino,
He plays so prettily to ev'ry signorina
Poppa Piccolino from sunny Italy.

No matter what the calendars show
it can't be spring and I oughta know
until I hear him singing:
"Hello, Hello, I'm here again."
A flower in his batter'd old hat
A smile for ev'ry doggie and cat
and children get the friendliest pat of all.
I'll give his name so it you ever meet him
then you will know exactly how to greet him.

All over Italy they know his concertina,
Poppa Piccolino, Poppa Piccolino,
He plays so prettily to ev'ry signorina
Poppa Piccolino from sunny Italy.

All over Italy they know his concertina,
Poppa Piccolino, Poppa Piccolino,
He plays so prettily to ev'ry signorina
Poppa Piccolino from sunny Italy.
