L'Ottimista

The optimist is born standing at seven months or just before
He has his shirt ready already ironed and a strong jaw
He's an optimist with a vaguely socialist air
And then and then he never makes a mistake, never makes a mistake
He frequents the strangest environments as long as they are worldly
He has for everyone a single and unique speech long live America with the red carnation
He's an optimist with a vaguely socialist air
And he never really makes a mistake, never makes a mistake, never makes a mistake
He has a serious and frowning look when he talks at length about the state
But then he lights up immensely when lunchtime comes
He's an optimist with a vaguely socialist air
And he never makes a mistake, never makes a mistake
And Jesus saw him walking on the blue waves of his sea
He said, 'Friend, I don't know who you are, but at least get your paws off, this water is mine'
But he's an optimist with a vaguely socialist air
And then and then he never makes a mistake, never makes a mistake, never makes a mistake
He's an optimist with a vaguely socialist air
And then and then he emerged on the banks of the Tiber, saying loudly beautiful big mine
We could build a metropolis whose name resembled mine a bit more
But he's an optimist with a vaguely socialist air
And he never really makes a mistake, never makes a mistake, never makes a mistake
