Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble, |
|
ancient footprints are everywhere. |
|
You could almost think that you're seeing double, |
|
On the cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs. |
|
Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room, |
|
Where I got me a date with a pretty little girl from Greece. |
|
She promised she'd be there with me, |
|
When I paint my masterpiece. |
|
Oh, the hours we spent, inside the Coliseum. |
|
Dodging lions, and a-wasting time, |
|
oh those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em |
|
Yes it sure has been a long, hard drive. |
|
Train wheels a-running thru the back of my memory, |
|
When I ran on a hilltop following a pack of wild geese, |
|
Someday everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody |
|
When I paint my masterpiece. |
|
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola, |
|
Oh to be back in the land of, Coca-cola. |
|
Well I left Rome, and landed in Brussels, |
|
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried, |
|
Clergy men in uniform, and young girls pulling mussels, |
|
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside, |
|
Newspaper men eating candy, |
|
Had to be held down by big police. |
|
Someday, its gonna be different, |
|
When I paint my masterpiece. |
