Now I'd like to sing you a new song[00:00:01]

That I wrote just last summer[00:00:03]

When I was having a holiday on the island of capri[00:00:04]

Each evening I used to sit on the piazza[00:00:08]

And watch these hordes of middle-age ladies[00:00:11]

Ariving by every boat[00:00:14]

Obviously all set to have themselves a ball[00:00:17]

So startled was I by this rather macabre spectacle[00:00:20]

That I wrote this song about a respectable english matron[00:00:27]

Who discovered in the nick of time[00:00:31]

That life was for living[00:00:34]

I'll sing you a song it's not very long[00:00:43]

It's moral may disconcert you[00:00:44]

Of a mother and wife who for most of her life[00:00:46]

Was trained for domestic virtue[00:00:48]

She had two strapping daughters and a rather dull son[00:00:51]

And a much duller husband who at sixty-one[00:00:54]

Elected to retire and later on expire[00:00:57]

Sing halleluhua heigh-nonny-no[00:01:02]

Heigh-nonny-no heigh-nonny-no[00:01:05]

He joined the feathered choir[00:01:07]

Having laid him to rest by special request[00:01:13]

In a family mausoleum[00:01:15]

As his widow repaired to the home they had shared[00:01:17]

Her heart sang a gay tedeum[00:01:20]

And then in the middle of the funeral wake[00:01:24]

While adding some liquor to the tipsy cake[00:01:26]

She briskly cried that's done[00:01:29]

My life's at last begun[00:01:31]

Sing halleluhah heigh-nonny-no[00:01:34]

Heigh-nonny-no heigh-nonny-no[00:01:37]

It's time I had some fun[00:01:40]

Today though hardly a jolly day[00:01:44]

At least I'll set me free[00:01:46]

We'll all have a lovely holiday[00:01:50]

On the island of capri[00:01:53]

In a bar on the piccola marina[00:01:59]

Life called to mrs wentworth-brewster[00:02:04]

Fate beckoned her and introduced her[00:02:07]

Into a rather queer unfamiliar atmosphere[00:02:11]

She'd just sit there propping up the bar[00:02:14]

Beside a fisherman who sang to a guitar[00:02:17]

When accused of having gone too far[00:02:22]

She made reply funiculi just fancy me funicula[00:02:25]

When he bellowed que bella signorina[00:02:30]

Sheer ecstasy at once produced a wild shriek[00:02:35]

From mrs wentworth-brewster[00:02:40]

Changing her whole demeanour[00:02:42]

When both her daughters and her son said please come home mama[00:02:46]

She answered rather bibulously who do you think you are[00:02:49]

Nobody can afford to be so la-di-bloody-da[00:02:53]

In a bar on the piccola marina[00:02:57]

Every fisherman cried viva viva and que ragazza[00:03:04]

When she sat on the grand piazza[00:03:08]

Everybody would rise[00:03:10]

Every fisherman said viva viva que belle inglese[00:03:12]

Someone even said whoops-a-daisy[00:03:15]

Which was quite a surprise[00:03:17]

Each evening with some light excuse and beaming with goodwill[00:03:19]

She'd just slip into something loose and totter down the hill[00:03:25]

To that bar on the piccola marina[00:03:33]

Where love came to mrs wentworth-brewster[00:03:37]

Hot flushes of delight suffused her[00:03:41]

Right round the bend she went picture her astonishment[00:03:45]

Day in day out she would gad about[00:03:49]

Because she felt she was no longer on the shelf[00:03:52]

Night out night in knocking back the gin[00:03:56]

She cried funicula funiculi funnic-yourself[00:03:59]

Just for fun three young sailors from messina[00:04:05]

Bowed low to mrs wentworth-brewster[00:04:10]

Said scusi and abruptly goosed her[00:04:14]

Then there was quite a scene[00:04:17]

Her family in floods of tears cried leave these men mama[00:04:21]

She said they are just high-spirited like all italians are[00:04:25]

And most of them have a great deal more to offer than papa[00:04:29]

In a bar on the piccola marina[00:04:33]
