Martinella
Martinella, oh Martinella
She is the belle-a of sunny Italy
Martinella, oh Martinella
Sweet tarantella, beautiful melody
Martinella, oh Martinella
She is the sunshine in every company
Oh she is just a song, canzone as they say
A happy refrain, romantic, sweet and gay
If you hear it once, I know you'll sing again
Mar tin ella
If ever you should go, my friend, to sunny Italy
They will welcome you with vino
And everyone will shake your hand, ""Inglese, nice to see""
Soon you'll hear the concertina
And you drink, and you sing
And you drink and drink and drink
Till all your cares have disappeared
And then you hear so clear and strong
A gay Italian song
Heaven will seem so very near
(Musical Interlude)
Martinella, oh Martinella
She is the sunshine in every company
Oh she is just a song, canzone as they say
A happy refrain, romantic, sweet and gay
If you hear it once, I know you'll sing again
Mar tin ella
