Pick the flower now before the chance is past...

J.W. Waterhouse: The awakening of Adonis

So you little Italian devils, you want to know about love  
Saraghina will tell you. If you want to make a woman happy, you lie on what you’re born with, because it is in your blood.  

Be Italian  
Be Italian  
take a chance and try to steal a fiery kiss  
be Italian  
be Italian  
when you hold me don’t just hold me but hold this  
please be gentle, sentimental  
go ahead and try to give my cheek a pat  
but be daring and uncaring  

when you pinch me try to pinch me where there’s fat  
HA!  
be a singer be a lover  
pick the flower now before the chance is past  
be Italian  
be Italian  
live today as if it may become your last!  
Hey!  
be a singer be a lover  
pick the flower now before the chance is past  
be Italian  
be Italian  
live today as if it may become your last!
