[Emland]

Shut Uppa Your Face!

Uno, duo, tre, quatro



When I was a boy, just about the eighth-a grade, Mama used to say don't stay out-a late with the bad-a boys, always shoot-a pool, Giuseppe going to flunk-a school.



Boy, it make-a me sick, all the t'ing I got to do I can't-a get-a no kicks, always got to follow rules.



Boy, it make-a me sick, just to make-a lousy bucks.



Got to feel-a like a fool and-a mama used to say all-a time.



What's-a matter you? Hey! Got to no respect.

What-a you t'ink you do? Why you look-a so sad?

It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place.



Ah, shaddap-a you face!



That's-a my mama, I can remember.

Big accordion solo.

Ah! Play that again, Really nice, really nice!



Soon-a come-a day, going to be a big-a star.



Den I make-a TV shows and-a movies.

Get-a myself a new car, but still I be myself I don't want-a to change a t'ing, still a-dance and a-sing.



I t'ink about-a mama, she used to say:



What's-a matter you? Hey! Got to no respect.

What-a you t'ink you do? Why you look-a so sad? It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place.



Ah, shaddap-a you face



Mama, she said it all-a da time.

What's-a matter you? Hey! Got to no respect.

What-a you t'ink you do? Why you look-a so sad?

It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place.



Ah, shaddap-a you face



That's-a my mama!



Hello, everybody!

'At's out-a dere in-a radio and-a TV land.

Did you know I had a big-a hit-a song in-a Italy with-a disc Shaddap-a you face?



I sing-a dis-a song, all-a my fans applaud.

Dey clap-a da hands, dat-a make me feel-a so good

You ought to learn-a dis-a song, it's-a real-a simple.

See, I sing: "what's-a matter you?"

You sing: "Hey!"

Den I sing-a da rest and den at de end, we can all-a sing: "Ah, Shaddap-a you face!"



O.k. let's-a try it, really big!



Uno, duo, tre, quatro



What's-a matter you? Hey! Got to no respect. Hey!

What-a you t'ink you do? Hey!

Why you look-a so sad? Hey!

It's-a not so bad. Hey! It's-a nice-a place.

Ah, shaddap-a you face!



OK one more-a time for mama!



What's-a matter you? Hey! Got to no respect. Hey! What-a you t'ink you do? Hey!

Why you look-a so sad? Hey!

It's-a not so bad. Hey! It's-a nice-a place.

Ah, shaddap-a you face!

Oh my goodness - have not heard that song for ages. It was cute. Joe Dolce - must have been a one hit wonder, never heard about him since.

Edit: I did some searching and it was a hit in 1981. Close enough to the 70's.
