La Mogliera

I wanna go back to my hometown
'Cause I wanna find a beautiful wife
A very simple and polite wife
Who won't make me spend too much

I asked my buddy for advice
He said be careful how you choose
If you pick one with nothing
You'll look like a bum
If you pick a rich one
You won't know who's in charge

If you pick one too ugly
Then you'll end up with a dry mouth
If you pick one too pretty
You'll need a guard

Either way, in every way
Oh, what trouble a wife is

My buddy is a smart guy
He's a man who's traveled the world healthy
But with this matter, he's ruining me
And in the meantime, I have to find a wife

And everyone has given me this advice
Be careful who you bring to the priest

If you pick one too fat
She'll destroy the whole house
If you pick one too skinny
You'll be hugging a stick

If you pick a young one
She'll spin you around
If you pick a city girl
Slowly but surely, she'll ruin you

If you pick one with nothing
You'll look like a bum
If you pick a rich one
You won't know who's in charge

If you pick one too ugly
Then you'll end up with a dry mouth
If you pick one too pretty
You'll need a guard

If you pick one too fat
She'll destroy the whole house
If you pick one too skinny
You'll be hugging a stick

If you pick a young one
She'll spin you around
If you pick a city girl
Slowly but surely, she'll ruin you

Either way, in every way
Oh, what trouble a wife is
Either way, in every way
Oh, what trouble a wife is
