Here is my attempt at providing the lyrics for Lou Monte's 'Pasquale, The Italian Pussycat' considered by some to be the sequel song to 'Peppino, The Italian Mouse':

Peppin c'u Pasquale chell t(i)en na cap fresc(a)
M' strazzn i gazzett e jettn' i scarp da finestr
A sera in da cucin chell fann nu banchett
Nun fann cerimonie mang lass' na pulpett

Peppin u suricill ma pecche' nun te ne vajh?
E pporta ta Pasqual(e) chell' e' propr n'atu guajh
A ssera 'ngoppo lijtt voj durmit da bell da bell
E iu senz'a cupert agja' durmi abbasciu sell

Peppin a du sta u baccala'?

Peppin u sulicill sa mbarat u mandulin
Pasqual u gatterill chell(e) sohn u violin
A sser' quann e' tard chell(e) fann a serenad
M' par(e) due cumpar Cric e Croc e Mangiafran!

Peppino and Pasquale are refreshed
They tear up my socks and throw my shoes out the window
At night they have a banquet in the kitchen
They don't stand on ceremony - they left a meatball

Peppino the Mouse - why don't you go away!?
And bring Pasquale with you - he's just turned out to be another woe
At night you (guys) are sleeping soundly in bed
And I'm already down here in the basement sleeping without a blanket

Peppino the Mouse is learning how to play the mandolin
Pasquale the Cat is playing the violin
At night when it's late they play a serenade
They seem like two buddies to me: Cric and Croc and Mangiafran!

Notes:

Tien na cap fresc= tengono il capo fresco= they have 'fresh heads' (and are ready to make trouble for Lou!)
Cazett=calzette=socks
Jettn=gettano=they throw
Chell' e propr n'atu guajh=quello(Pasquale) e' proprio un altro guaio=that one(Pasquale) is just another woe or trouble
'Ngoppo lijtt=sul letto=on the bed
Abbasciu sell=abbasso= down below; however more likely it is the combination of basement and cellar (basciament(u) e sello) - an Italian-Americanism
Cric e Croc e Mangiafran=Calabrian equivalent 'The Three Stooges'. Mangiafran means 'straw-eater'. I grew up Marchegian with 'Crichetti, Crocchetti, e Tarababassi' which appear to be similar characters.

I look forward to your comments and hope this e-mail thread helps you to understand and sing along with Lou Monte.
