Oh, Gondaliero

Well, boys
Here we are in beautiful Italy
This is the city of Venice
The city of romance and singing
A city filled with gondolas and the most beaut-

And look at all those boats
Alvin, a gondola is a boat
Hey, let's take a gondola ride
Yeah
In a boat

How about it, Dave?
Okay, fellas
Good idea
And we'll ask the gondolier to-
What's a gondolier?

Dave:
Well, a gondo-
Well, ugh... ah, Alvin
You see the man with the big mustache?
He's a gondolier

Let's get into his boat and maybe he'll sing

Gondolier:
'O sole mio
Sta 'nfronte a te!
'O sole mio
La, la, la
