Peppino ...the Italian Mouse Signore e signori io mi chiamo Peppino o suricillu Ladies and Gentlemen my name is Peppino the Little Mouse. And what a mulignana (eggplant0 Peppino o you little mouse o won't you go away, Find yourself another house to run around and play You scare my girl you eat my cheese you even drink my wine, I try so hard to catch you but you trick me all the time. Ce sta nu suricillo abbasciu u cell arretu u muru There is a small mouse in the cellar behind the wall Ogni sera quell esce quannu a casa e` scura Every evening he comes out when the house is dark Indu u mienzu ra cucina abballa sulu sulu In the middle of the kitchen dances all alone ma pare nu malandrino pura a gata 'ssa paura Looks like a bad boy even the cat gets scared Peppino u suricillo ma fattu scubari`, Peppino the little mouse embarrassed me Mannaggia u suricillo a ca` si 'nna dda` i Darn the little mouse from here he has to go Stasira inda cucina nu pocu e vino aggia` lassa` Tonight in the kitchen I'm going to leave a little wine E quannu si mbriaga a Peppino aggia` ngappa` And when he gets drunk Peppino I gotta catch Ma tu chi si …Siciliano? But are you …Sicilian? No! I'm Calabrese you nut! The other night I called my girl I asked her could we meet, I said lets go to my house we could have a bite to eat, And as we walked in through the door she screamed at what she saw, There was little Peppino doing the cha cha on the floor. Peppino u suricillo ma fattu scumbari`, Mannaggia u suricillo a ca` si 'nna dda` i Stasira ind a cucina nu pocu e vino aggia` lassa` E quannu si mbriaga a Peppino aggia` ngappa` Ma come finiu? … a schifio?!! How did it end? … It didn't work out??? If I ever catch you I'ma gonna throw you right in a bagnarola (wash tub) Chello nun gi piace u formaggio American He doesn't like the American Cheese Chello va truvannu nu poco e parmungianu He goes lookin for a bit of parmesan Se fattu chiatto chiatto cu sta vita buona He's gotten chubby chubby with the good life E quannu chill cammina pare proprio nu galanduomu And when he walks, looks like a proper gentleman Peppino u suricillo ma fattu scumbari`, Mannaggia u suricillo a ca` si 'nna dda` i Stasira inda cucina nu pocu e vino aggia` lassa` E quannu si mbriaga a Peppino aggia` ngappa` Eurizi (The guy's name) I gatta present for you Ah your a nice mouse Close your eyes ...now put your hands in the box. Oooo mannaggia u suricillo mma scasciato a mano Oooo darn the little mouse has smashed my hand A mouse trap O sole mio (few words of an Italian song). Eh malandrino! (Eh bad boy!) Oi Mari...
