The Busy Italian Boy

V1
In a hillside Sicilian town
Where cobblestone streets lead to the church from all around
Angelina and Leonard began un famigle di otto bambini with a
Busy Italian boy, a busy Italian boy

V2
Salvatore was born 13 pounds
and after 10 years he could dig that shovel deep into the ground
lead a mule and hoe through the fields, play with Farfalla,
eat pasta with Carlo at the family feast

Chorus
Busy Italian boy, and he climbs every mountain he can
Likes to play with big toys, grab time by the palm of his hands
You plant the trees, we reap the fruit, our busy Italian boy

In the 50?s Pa sent him cross the sea
with mamma, 2 siblings towards opportunity
go to to school learn the English language
Wait tables at Dearborn Street Station
Then landscape with Pa and one truck
drive a stick with no license, get stuck
sculpt a family of his own
sculpt half the land North of Chicago

It's six a.m. Sunday, I'm dreamin' 'bout sleepin'
but there's that 'ole knock on the door

you're 70 and I'm dizzy on the floor
We'll hike the ridge with Dom', waterski by one

Chorus3
Busy Italian boy, climb every mountain you can
play with all the big toys, and grab time in the palm of your hands

Closing
Busy Italian Boy, Climb every mountain, Climb every mountain
Bus.Ital.Boy, Grab time in the palm, time in the palm of your hand
You plant the trees, we reap the fruit
my dizzy and busy Italian Piasano, Busy Italian Boy

Background Harmony
Bravo mio Papa, Hai Goduto Setanda Anni
