Joe Dolce - Shaddap you face 1981

Hello, I'ma Guiseppi,
I gotta something speciala for you,
Ready, uno, duo, tres, quatro
When I was a boy just abouta fiftha grade,
Mama used to say don'ta stay out alate
With the badda boys, Guiseppi, always shoota pool,
goin-ta flunka school

Boy it make-a me sick, everyting I gotta do
I can'ta getta no kicks, always gotta follow rules
Boy it make-a me sick, just to make-a lousy bucks
Gotta a feela like a fool

And the mama used to say all the time,
What's a matter you, hey, gotta no respect
Whatta you tink you do, why you looka so sad
It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place,
Ahh shaddap you face

That's-a my mama, I can you remember,
big accordian solo

But soona come a day, gonna be-a bigga star
Thenna make a TV shows and the movies,
Getta myself a new car
But still I be myself, I never change a thing,
Stilla dance and-a sing
And think about the mama, she used to say

What's a matter you, hey, gotta no respect
Whatta you tink you do, why you looka so sad
It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place,
Ahh shaddap you face

Mama she said it alla da time,
What'sa matter you, hey, gotta no respect
Whatta you think you do, why you looka so sad
Itsa not so bad, Itsa nice-a place,
Ahh shaddap you face

Hello everybody, outs-outta dere in a music and a-TV land

And then at the end we can alla sing

I lived in NYC when this song was released and very broadly played on the radio. What was really funny was how so many Italian New Yorkers were so offended by this OBVIOUS parody. People interviewd on the street were furious! "No one talks like that anymore" were some of the comments made. They simply didn't 'get it', and that made it funnier to me. This was (and still is) a harmless comical song that I hope Joe made a fortune off of. Bravo Joe and thanks!

[juliadennehy]

Thumbs up if you just remember this song from when you were 12, and you started singing it today for no reason whatsoever after 30 years...

[wyattspop]

@iamdrremulak

I'll say this to your face, you may want to research your posts first before calling anyone ignorant, anti-semites hate Jews, not Italians ya tool! Oh, and the truly "bad MF's" I've crossed paths with wouldn't have a handle like "badderthanyou"
