You can hear Lou Monte singing PEPINO'S FRIEND PASQUAL at YouTube..

I'm pretty sure that's "bocce ball" not "gauche-ball."

Of course "bocce ball" is a bilingual redundancy. "Bocce" is the plural of "boccia," the Italian word for "ball." The game should be called simply "bocce," but I have heard Americans, maybe even Italian-Americans, call it "bocce ball."

"Bocce" is pronounced "botchy."
