| At the Arrividerci Roma night club bar and grill
|
| Standing in the fibre-glass ruin watching time stand still
|
| All your troubles you’ll confess
|
| To another faceless, backless dress
|
| Schnapps, Chianti, Porter and Ouzo
|
| Pernod Vodka, Sambuca, I love you so poor deportee
|
| There’s a fading beauty talking in riddles
|
| Rome burns down and everybody fiddles
|
| The poor deportee
|
| But a thousand dollars won’t buy you a yankee wife, alas
|
| There’s a thousand years of history
|
| Drowned in that whiskey glass
|
| Now I wish that she was mine
|
| I could have been a king in 6/8 time — poor deportee
|
| Schnapps, Chianti, Porter and Ouzo
|
| Pernod Vodka, Sambuca, I love you so poor deportee
|
| It’s a brittle charm, but the lady’s had enough
|
| Still she wrote her number on your paper cuff
|
| It’s hard to know when to start and when to stop
|
| Her pillow talk is nothing more than talking shop
|
| When I came here tonight my pockets were overflowing
|
| She stole my return ticket and I didn’t even know it
|
| I prayed to the saints and all the martyrs
|
| For the secret life of Frank Sinatra
|
| And all of these things have to come to pass
|
| In America the law is a piece of ass — deportee
|
| Schnapps, Chianti, Porter and Ouzo
|
| Pernod, Vodka, Sambuca, I love you so
|
| Poor deportee
|
| Schnapps, Chianti, Porter and Ouzo
|
| Pernod, Vodka, Sambuca, I love you so — deportee
|
| I love you so poor deportee |
