Shaddap You Face Songtext
von Joe Dolce

′Allo, I'm-a Giuseppe

I got-a something special-a for you
Ready?
Uno, due, tre, quattro

When I was a boy
Just abouth the eighth-a grade

Mama used to say, "Don′t stay out-a late
With the bad-a boys
Always shoot-a pool

Giuseppe going to flunk-a school!"
Boy, it make-a me sick
All the thing I gotta do

I can't-a get-a no kicks
Always got to follow rules

Boy, it make-a me sick
Just to make the lousy bucks

Got to feel-a like a fool

And-a mama used to say all-a time
What's-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect


What-a you t′ink you do? Why you look-a so sad?
It′s-a not so bad
It's-a nice-a place

Ah Shaddap-a you face!
That′s-a my mama, I can remember!
Big accordion solo!
Ah! Play that again! Really nice
Really nice!
Soon-a come-a day
Gonna be a big-a star

Then I make-a TV shows and-a movies

Get-a myself a new car
But still I be myself

I don't want-a to change a thing

Still a-dance and a-sing

Thing about-a mama
She used to say
What′s-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect
What do you think you do? Why you look-a so sad?
It's-a not so bad
It′s-a nice-a place
Ah shaddap-a you face!


Mama, she said it all the time

What's-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect
What do you think you do? Why you look-a so sad?
It's-a not so bad
It′s-a nice-a place
Ah shaddap-a you face!
That′s-a my mama!

Hello everybody!
'At′s out-a there in-a radio and-a TV land

Did you know I had a big-a hit-a song in-a Italy with-a disc?
Shaddap-a you face
I sing-a dis-a song
All-a my fans applaud

They clap-a da hands
That make me feel-a so good
You ought to learn-a dis-a song
It's-a real-a simple
See
I sing, "What′s-a matter you?", You sing, "Hey!"
Then I sing-a da rest
And then at the end
We can all-a sing
Ah, shaddap-a you face!
Okay, let's-a try it
Uno, due, tre, quattro

What′s-a matter you? (Hey!)
Gotta no respect (Hey!)
