A funny Venetian Song

Marietta monta in gondola"Mary, let's go by gondola"

Rit. If you say yes or noStop a bit, stop a bitIf you both say yes or noStop a bit, pleaseYou, you both.

Mary let's go by gondolaAs far as lido beach,So there I can teachYou how to give a little kiss.

Sorry, I can't trust you'Cause when we were you and me,Just behind a treeyou stole me a big kiss.

Rit. Tick, tick, tock you say noBut I know your heart's beatingTick, tick, tock everybody knowsThat in Venice we make love...In "gondoeta"I say no! I don't wanna go!

If you say yes or noStop a bit, stop a bitIf you both say yes or noStop a bit, pleaseYou, you both.

Come, look up the sky,All silver is the moon,Please don't be so foolI must say you good-bye!

Above the round churchesYoung pretty pigeon flyAdd also diamond starsBut sorry I can't trust!

Rit. Tick, tick, tock you say noBut I know your heart's beatingTick, tick, tock everybody knows

That in Venice we make love...In "gondoeta"I say no! I don't wanna go!Don't insist I won't!

If you say yes or noStop a bit, stop a bitIf you both say yes or noStop a bit, pleaseYou, you both.

Stop! Ok, let's finish here!Now I'm going awayI don't want you to leaveI'm sorry, please! So, stay!

Don't look other girlsI'll promise I'll be goodBecause there's no one elseWho I'm in love but you!

Rit. Tick, tick, tock you say noBut I know your heart's beatingTick, tick, tock everybody knowsThat in Venice we make love...In "gondoeta"I say no! I don't wanna go!...in gondoeta I'll give you a big kiss!
