Giuvanne Cu' a Chitarra
Renato Carosone
Johnny with the Guitar
'The evening, up on the streets,
With the guitar, heading out for a good time...
Wearing a yellow tie
And a jacket with a split in the back...
His shoes are all scuffed up
And his pants are a bit too tight...
And who turns this way... and who turns that way...
Watching him pass by...
They call him Johnny with the guitar...
'Cause he knows how to sing every song.
He fell in love with a girl
Who left him all messed up...
And he brings serenades to the lovers:
For a hundred bucks he sings 'soul and heart',
For five hundred he does the American thing:
He manages to play 'Johnny Guitar'...
They call him Johnny with the guitar...
And he seems like the crazy one of the songs!
One night he was called,
To a party, under a balcony
In the noisy alley...
First floor, up on a streetlight:
His hand shakes, this serenade goes to Margarita...
With this guitar here, what are you gonna sing?
For those who want to have a good time?
They call him Johnny with the guitar...
'Cause he knows how to sing every song.
He fell in love with a girl
Who left him all messed up...
They call him Johnny with the guitar...
'Cause he can sing every song...
