L'ho beccata in discoteca con lo sguardo da serpente 00:17
Io mi sono avvicinato lei già non capiva niente 00:21
L'ho guardata m'ha guardato e mi sono scatenato 00:26
Fred Astaire al mio confronto era statico e imbranato 00:30
Le ho sparato un bacio in bocca uno di quelli che schiocca 00:35
Sulla pista indiavolata lì per lì l'ho strapazzata 00:39
L'ho lanciata riefferrata senza fiato l'ho lasciata! 00:41
Tre le braccia m'e cascata era cotta innamorata 00:43
Per i fianchi I'ho bloccata e ne ho fatto marmellata! 00:45
Oh yea 00:48
Si dice cosi no? 00:51
E poi 00:53
E poi 00:54
Che idea! 00:55
Ma quale idea? 00:56
Non vedi che lei non ci sta? 00:57
Che idea! 00:59
Ma quale idea? 01:00
E' maliziosa ma sapra tenere a bada un superbullo buffo come te 01:02
E poi che avresti di speciale che in un altro no non c'è! 01:08
Che idea! 01:12
Ma quale idea 01:13
Non vedi che lei non ci sta? 01:14
Che idea! 01:16
Ma quale idea? 01:17
Attento lei lunga la sa! 01:19

Le cose che pretendi e scusa in fondo scusa tu che dai! 01:25
01:31
M'è venuta una pensata 01:46
Nella tana l'ho portata 01:47
Le ho versato un'aranciata lei s'è fatta una risata 01:49
Al mio whisky si è aggrappata e cinque litri s'è scolata 01:54
Mi sembrava bell'è andata m'ha baciato I'ho baciata 01:58
Ad un tratto l'ho agganciata dalle braccia m'è sgusciata 02:02
M'ha guardato l'ho guardata I'ho bloccata accarezzata 02:06
Sul visino suo di fata ma sembrava una patata! 02:08
L'ho acchiappata I'ho frullata e ne ho fatto una frittata! 02:11
Oh yea 02:15
Si dice cosi no? 02:17

[English]
I caught her at the disco with a serpent’s gaze
I approached her, she didn’t understand a thing
I looked at her, she looked back, and I started to go wild
Fred Astaire compared to me was stiff and clumsy
I shot her a kiss, one of those that pop
On the crazy dancefloor, I made a mess right then
I threw her, reeled her in, breathless, I left her!
She fell into my arms, she was crazy in love
I held her by the hips and turned her into jam!
Oh yeah
That’s how they say it, right?
And then
And then
What an idea!
What idea?
Can’t you see she’s not into it?
What an idea!
What idea?
She’s mischievous but she’ll know how to tame a bold, funny guy like you
And then, what do you have that’s so special, that others don’t?
What an idea!
What idea
Can’t you see she’s not into it?
What idea!
What idea?
Watch out, she’s clever!
She’ll make you spin around without ever
Getting the things you demand and, sorry, it’s your fault,
Because you’re the one giving!
I had a sudden idea
I took her to my den
I poured her orange soda, she made a laugh
Clung to my whiskey, drank five liters straight down
I thought she was beautiful, it was over, she kissed me
Suddenly I caught her, she slipped from my arms
She looked at me, I looked back, I held her, caressed her
On her fairy face, but she looked like a potato!
I grabbed her, blended her, and made a frittata!
Oh yeah
That’s how they say it, right?
And then
What an idea!
What idea?
Can’t you see she’s not into it?
What idea!
What idea?
She’s mischievous but she’ll know how to tame a bold, funny guy like you
And then, what do you have that’s so special, that others don’t?
What an idea!
What idea
Can’t you see she’s not into it?
What idea!
What idea?
Watch out, she’s clever!
She’ll make you spin around without ever
Getting the things you demand and, in the end, sorry for what you give!
That’s an idea!
What idea!
What idea?

Dance
Well, dance
