If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman you wife
So for my personal point of view
Get another girl to marry you
Prrretty woman with the pretty face
Tracks attention in every place
When she walks she makes the men all moon
Pretty soon
Pretty soon you're alone
If you want to be happy
Course a big fat woman keeps you warm at home
Lots of meat shaking on the bone.
When she throws the big leg on you
All night long makes a dream come true
If you want to be happy
Reggae Italian, big piano solo, not bad he
Next time try two fingers, accordion quick

Ah
That's my kind of music, clap the hands, it's alright
Ok, clap the hands everybody, little bit of Italian applause
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Don't make a fancy woman your wife
If you want to be happy
Course a fancy woman got a fancy taste
She spends all the day fixing up her face
Why she got to use so much of powder and paste
When she kisses you it's a funny taste
If you want to be happy
If you want to be happy
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for Giuseppe's personal point of view
Get another girl to marry you
Ah
It makes me feel so good.
