Thread Name: Lyr Req: Papa Picollino
Subject: Lyr Add: PAPA PICCOLINO
Here are the words I received from the site suggested by Yvonne, when I read them all the words came back again.

PAPA PICCOLINO
Oh listen to the music I hear
Old Papa Piccolino is here
To win a smile or may be a tear
Before travelling on
A vagabond he wanders along
A millionaire but only in song
As though the world might really belong to him
This fellow plays a melody so mellow
That everyone keeps shouting 'bello bello'

Cho:
All over Italy they know his concertina
Papa Piccolino, Papa Piccolino
He plays so prettily to every signorina
Papa piccolino from sunny Italy

No matter what the calendars show
It can't be spring I ought to know
Until I hear him sing 'hello hello
I'm here again'
A flower in his battered old hat
A smile for every doggie and cat
And children get the friendliest pat of all
I'll give his name so if you ever meet him
Then you will know exactly how to greet him
