EH CUMPARI (English lyrics)
Archie Bleyer / Julius La Rosa 1953
as rec by The Stargazers 1950's
Eh cumpari, let's make some music,
What'll I play? The piccolino!
But how do you play it, the piccolino?
Wi wi wi wi, the piccolino,
Chippity chippity tah!
Eh cumpari, let's make some music,
What'll I play? The saxophona!
But how do you play it, the saxophone?
Toot toot toot toot, the saxophone,
Wi wi wi wi, the piccolino,
Chippity chippity tah!
Eh cumpari, let's make some music,
What'll I play? The violino!
But how do you play it, the violino?
A zing a zing, the violin,
Toot toot toot toot, the saxophone,
Wi wi wi wi, the piccolino,
Chippity chippity tah!
Eh cumpari, let's make some music,
What'll I play? The valchapata!
But how do you play it, the valchapata?
Pap pap pap pap, the valchapet,
A zing a zing, the violin,
Toot toot toot toot, the saxophone,
Wi wi wi wi, the piccolino,
Chippity chippity tah!
Eh cumpari, let's make some music,
What'll I play? The slide trombona!
But how do you play it, the slide trombona?
A pume a pume, the slide trombone,
Pap pap pap pap, the valchapet,
A zing a zing, the violin,
Toot toot toot toot, the saxophone,
Wi wi wi wi, the piccolino,
Chippity chippity tah!
A pume a pume, the slide trombone,
Pap pap pap pap, the valchapet,
A zing a zing, the violin,
Toot toot toot toot, the saxophone,
Wi wi wi wi, the piccolino,
Chippity chippity,
Chippity chippity tah!
