Fred Astaire Piccolino Lyrics

Piccolino Lyrics

By the Adriatic waters Venetian sons and daughters
Are strumming a new tune
upon their guitars.
It was written by a Latin, a gondolier who sat in
His
home out in Brooklyn and gazed at the stars.
He sent his melody across the
sea to Italy,
And we know they wrote some words to fit that catchy
bit
And christened it the Piccolino.
And we know that it's the reason
why
Ev'ryone this season is strumming and humming a new melody.
Come to
the Casino and hear them play the Piccolino.
Dance with your bambino to the
strains of the catchy Piccolino.
Drink your glass of Vino, and when you've
had your plate of Scallopino,
Make them play the Piccolino, the catchy
Piccolino.
And dance to the strains of that new melody, the Piccolino.
