"Funiculi' Funicula'" lyrics - MARIO LANZA

Some think the world is made for fun and frolic,
And so do I! And so do I!
Some think it well to be all melancholic,
To pine and sigh, to pine and sigh
But I, I love to spend my time in singing
Some joyous song, some joyous song;
To set the air with music bravely ringing
Is far from wrong! Is far from wrong!

Listen! Listen! Music sounds so fun!
Listen! Listen! Music sounds so fun!
Tra-la-la-la, tra-la-la-la, tra-la-la-la, tra-la-la-la!
Music sounds so fun! Tra-la-la-la, tra-la-la-la!

Some sing the world is set for freedom dancing,
But not so I, and not so I;
Some sing our eyes could keep from finally glancing
Upon the sly, but not so I!
But all we're so amazing and so charming,
Divinely sweet, divinely sweet,
And shortly there's no time for paceful harming
In nimble feet! In nimble feet!

Listen! Listen! Music sounds so fun!
Listen! Listen! Music sounds so fun!
Tra-la-la-la, tra-la-la-la, tra-la-la-la, tra-la-la-la!
Music sounds so fun! Tra-la-la-la! Tra-la-la-la!

All we are feeling nice and sick of sighing,
And we like it well, and we like it well;
For me, I thought the day I kept on trying,
They couldn't tell! They couldn't tell!
With laughter, dance and song, the day soon passes,
But soon it's gone, but soon it's gone,
For more time I should send some lads and lassies
To call their own! To call their own!

Listen! Listen! Music sounds so fun!
Listen! Listen! Music sounds so fun!
Tra-la-la-la, tra-la-la-la, tra-la-la-la, tra-la-la-la!
Music sounds so fun! Tra-la-la-la, tra-la-la-la!

Music sounds so fun! Tra-la-la-la, tra-la-la-la!
