Shaddap You Face - Joe Dolce

Shaddap You Face (verse:)

When I was a boy, just about-a eighth-a grade,

mama used to say, don't-a stay out late,

with the bad-a boys, always shoot-a pool,

gonna flunk-a school. Boy, it make-a me sick, all the things I gotta do.

can't-a getta no kicks, always gotta follow rules,

boy, it make-a me sick, just-a make a lousy bucks,

I gotta feel like a fool. (and mama used to say:) (chorus:)

What'sa matta you, hey,

Gotta no respect, whatta you think you do,

Why you looka so sad?

It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place,

Ah, Shaddap You Face. (verse:)

Soon-a come-a day, gonna be-a big-a star,

Gonna make a movies, buy a nice-a car,

but still-a be myself, I'm-a never change a thing,

always dance and sing. ('cause I remember mama used to say:) (chorus:)

What'sa matta you, hey,

Gotta no respect, whatta you think you do,

Why you looka so sad?

It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place,

Ah, Shaddap You Face. (talking section)

" Hello, everybody, that's out there in radio and television land.

Did you know I had a bit hit song in Italy with this: 'Shaddap You Face'?

I sing this song and all my fans applaud, they clap their hands, that make me feel so good.

You ought to learn this song, It's really simple -

I sing: 'Whatsa Matta You?" You sing: 'Hey!"

, you sing the rest and at the end, we can all sing 'Ah, shaddap You Face!'

Ok Let's try it, really big -

Uno, Duo, Tre, Quatro:" (chorus:)

What'sa matta you, hey,

Gotta no respect, whatta you think you do,

Why you looka so sad?

It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place,

Ah, Shaddap You Face.
