In the Arrivederci Roma
nightclub bar and grill
Standing in the fibreglass ruins
watching time stand still
All your troubles you confess
to another faceless backless dress
Schnapps Chianti Porter and Ouzo
Pernod vodka Sambuca
I love you so deportee
Tatty beauty talking in riddles
Rome burns down
everybody's on the fiddle
Two thousand dollars for
a wife and some class
A thousand years drowned
in a chaser glass
How I wish that she was mine
I could have been a King
in Six Eight Time
Schnapps Chianti Porter and Ouzo
Pernod vodka Sambuca
I love you so deportee
It's a brittle charm
but she's had enough
Still she wrote her number
on his paper cuff
You don't know where
to start or where to stop
All this pillow talk is nothing more
than talking shop
When I came here tonight
my pockets were overflowing
They took my return ticket without me
even knowing
I pray to the saints and all the martyrs
for the secret life of Frank Sinatra
But none of these things have come to pass
In America the law is a piece of ass
I'm a deportee I'm a deportee
I'm a deportee
I'm a deportee yeah
I'm a deportee yeah
I'm a deportee
I'm a deportee
Schnapps Chianti Porter and Ouzo
Pernod vodka Sambuca I love you so
Schnapps Chianti Porter and Ouzo
Pernod vodka Sambuca I love you so
Schnapps Chianti Porter and Ouzo
Pernod vodka Sambuca I love you so
