Paparelli’s Pizzeria,  
Johnny drove the delivery van,  
Not too smart but we all loved him,  
'Cause he was the Paparelli man!  
Oh, make it a medium,  
Make it a large,  
Make it to go!

They said I couldn’t see him, My love for him was wrong.  
His bike was much too noisy, His sideburns were too long.  
I said farewell to Johnnie, Over one last pizza pie  
I hid my tears and even laughed When Johnnie said good-bye

He saw two bike lights up the road And thought he’d try his luck.  
He tried to cut between them. He never knew it was a truck.  
I ran out on the highway But I couldn’t find my guy.  
Between the deisel’s headlights SOMETHING LOOKED LIKE PIZZA PIE

She says  
I can’t see you any more, baby,  
Can’t see you anymore.  
Walk me down to school, baby,  
Everybody’s acting deaf and dumb.  
Until they turn and say, “Why don’t you stick to your own kind.”

I know a fine way to treat a Steinway  
I love to run my fingers o’er the keys, the ivories

And with the pedal I love to meddle  
Not only music from broadway  
I’m so delighted if I’m invited  
To hear that long haired genius play

So you can keep your fiddle and your bow  
Give me a P-I-A-N-O, oh, oh  
I love to stop right beside an upright  
Or a high toned Baby Grand

Well she’s all you’d ever want  
She’s the kind they’d like to flaunt and take to dinner  
Well she always knows her place  
She’s got style, she’s got grace, she’s a winner.

She’s a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, she’s a Lady  
Talkin’ about that little Lady, and the Lady is mine.

Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies  
And the king and the queen of the prom  
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on  
Nobody looked any finer  
Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner  
We never knew we could want more than that out of life  
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive.  
Oh, oh, oh, oh……

We always take my car cause it’s never been beat  
And weve never missed yet with the girls we meet

None of the guys go steady cause it wouldn’t be right  
To leave their best girl home now on saturday night

I’d take requests on the telephone  
I’m on a wavelength far from home  
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder  
I dial it in from south of the border  
I hear the talking of the DJ  
Can’t understand just what does he say?

South America, baba-loo, ay-yi-yi, baba-loo  
One favor you can do, ay-yi-yi, you can do  
You beautiful lands below  
Don’t know what you began  
To put it plainly, I’m tired of shakin’  
To that Pan-American plan

Take back your Samba, ay!, your Rumba, ay!, your Conga, ay-yi-yi!  
I can’t keep movin’, ay!, my chassis, ay!, any longer, ay-yi-yi!  
Now maybe Latins, ay!, in their middles, ay!, are built stronger, ay-yi-yi!  
But all this takin’ to the quakin’  
And this makin’ with the shakin’ leaves me achin’, olé!

What if I don’t find you when I have landed?  
Will you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.

I’ve been walking all night long  
My footsteps made me crazy  
Baby, you’ve been gone so long  
I’m wonderin’ if you’ll come home  
I’m hopin’ that you’ll be my baby  
I’m wonderin’ if I’ll be alone  
Knowin’ that I need you to save me.

You got to trust your lover when you go away,  
Keep on believing tomorrow brings a better day.  
Sometimes you smile while you’re cryin’ inside,  
Just once you’ll turn away while the truth be shinin’ bright.  
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana ayeye ayeye

It’s a cruel crazy beautiful world

All your life you’ve waited  
For love to come and stay  
And now that I have found you  
You must not slip away  
I know it’s hard believin’  
The words you’ve heard before  
But darlin’ you must trust them just once more  
'Cause baby, goodbye doesn’t mean forever  
Let me tell you  
Goodbye doesn’t mean  
We’ll never be together again  
If you wake up and I’m not there  
I won’t be long away  
'Cause the things you do my goodbye girl  
Will bring me back to you
