La strana famiglia

Let me introduce you to my family
we don’t wear makeup, we don’t mess around
we're the most unfortunate in Italy
but even though we suffer a lot
we're good listeners
we're the ones with the highest ratings
[Go Gaber]
my parents, two old fogies
spent half an hour insulting each other
while watching "We Loved Each Other So Much"
because of the shame, Uncle Evaristo
hid away, poor guy
he's already been reported to "Missing Persons"
[they never find anyone]
Ginetto from the Idroscalo
when his wife leaves him alone
cries live with Sandra Milo
[CIRO CIRO!!!]

Not to mention my brother
who broke his neck
now he plays dead on Yellow Phone
[There he is]

What’s your name?
Where are you calling from?
There are plenty of prizes for everyone
hello, hello, hello
lots of tokens, lots of millions
hello, hello, hello
with Berlusconi or with Rai

And in Aspromonte, I have relatives
I saw them again, looking happy
in the special "Kidnappings"
while in Rome, there's Uncle Renzo
who's illiterate but wrote a novel
he's always there with Maurizio Costanzo
[Watch out Maurizio, I’m coming, eh!]
and Grandma Piera's luck
who killed her lover with a shotgun
she got twenty years on "A Day in Court"
[they go on TV and then cry]
my uncle is a drag queen named Wanda
made some money, bought a Panda
the Panda went to Samarkand

What’s your name?
Where are you calling from?
There are plenty of prizes for everyone
hello, hello, hello
lots of tokens, lots of millions
hello, hello, hello
with Berlusconi or with Rai

Who’s left? Oh right, there’s Vito
completely out of it
at Zavoli, he’ll stick your finger
[that guy has tried every job, huh?]
and finally, there’s Grandpa Renato
who’s had AIDS since he was born
he had a triumph with Nino D'Amato
[they ask him for autographs, huh?]
I’ve introduced you to my family
we don’t wear makeup, we don’t mess around
we're the most unfortunate in Italy
the Beautiful Country smiling
where they happily speculate
on the misfortunes of the people

What’s your name?
Where are you calling from?
We’re all going crazy
hello, hello, hello
we’re all becoming idiots
hello, hello, hello
with Berlusconi or with Rai
hello, hello, hello
we’re all becoming idiots
hello, hello, hello
with Berlusconi or with Rai
