MAMA ROMA
(Henry / Weiss)
Dean Martin - 1963


(Mama Roma, Mama)
(Mama Roma, Mama)
She's a town with a heart
Just the place for the start of amoré
(Mama Roma, Mama)
For the old tidal shores
See the young by the score from each doorway
(Mama Roma, Mama)
Mama Roma has eyes
That were burned from the skies of amoré
Mama Roma takes care
Just to lead them to their one and only

On a strada in Rome
I was walkin' alone
It was Springtime
(Mama Roma, Mama)
Like a soft-hearted Mama
The City took pity on me
Soon a voice, oh so tender and dulcé
Was saying "Ti amo"
(I love you, I love you)
Like a dream comin' true
Mama Roma had sent me to you
(Mama Roma, Mama)
(Mama Roma, Mama)

(Mama Roma, Mama)
Like a soft-hearted Mama
The City took pity on me
Soon a voice, oh so tender and dulcé
Was saying "Ti amo"
(I love you, I love you)
Like a dream comin' true
Mama Roma had sent me to you
(Mama Roma, Mama)
Mama Roma
(Mama Roma, Mama)
Mama Roma
(Mama Roma, Mama)
Mama Roma.......FADE
