A Carnival in Venice lyrics

A carnival in Venice

With gondolas and guitars

A boy, a girl, a lamp light

In their eyes, a glow of stars

He sighed, then he cried, darling, kiss me

She slipped into his arms and obeyed

A carnival was going on in Venice

While kiss-tory was being made

They married and left Venice

Now at home where an organ grinder grinds

They dream about the carnival in Venice

From behind their Venician blinds

A carnival in Venice

Where no stranger dines alone

Instead of beer and pretzels

They serve wine and mackerel

Taxi cabs ride around in the water

The canals on wet streets are too big

Until you've met a sweet Venician daughter

You miss what you ought to see

You'll find romance in Venice

There are hearts waiting to be wooed and won

So pack your grip and take a trip to Venice

Get your share of Venician fun

A carnival in Venice

Corny corn that's out of tune

The nights are so romantic

You can do without a moon

The air is alive with confetti

Music boosts from each gay carousel

And lovers cling together like spaghetti

While dancing the Terrene Tell

So when you go to Venice

If you only can stay a day or two

I'll bet an old gondola, you'll like Venice

And I know, Venice will like you
