The Rat Pack - We Open In Venice lyrics

[Verse 1] ALL: A troupe of strolling players are we, DEAN: Not stars like L.B. Mayer's are we, ALL: But just a simple band ALL: Who roams about the land FRANK: Dispensing fol-de-rol frivolity. [Verse 2] ALL: Mere folk who give distraction are we, SAMMY: No Theater Guild attractions are we, FRANK: Oh Shut up Sam, ALL: But just a crazy group FRANK: That never ceases to troop ALL: Around the map of little Italy. SAMMY: Well here we go back to the home Country again, [Chorus 1] ALL: We open in Venice, ALL: We next play Verona, ALL: Then on to Cremona. FRANK: Lotsa laughs in Cremona. ALL: Our next jump in Parma, FRANK: That dopy, mope Menace, ALL: Then Mantua, then Padua, FRANK: Then we open again, ALL: Where?! [Chorus 2] ALL: We open in Venice, ALL: We next play Verona, ALL: Then on to Cremona. DEAN: Lotsa bars in Cremona. ALL: Our next jump in Parma, DEAN: That fearless, cheerless Menace, ALL: Then Mantua, then Padua, DEAN: Then we open again, ALL: where?! [Chorus 3] ALL: We open in Venice, ALL: We next play Verona, ALL: Then on to Cremona. SAMMY: Lotsa money in Cremona. ALL: Our next jump in Parma, SAMMY: That dingy, stingy Menace, ALL: Then Mantua, then Padua, SAMMY: Then we open again, ALL: where?! [Chorus 4] ALL: We open in Venice, ALL: We next play Verona, ALL: Then on to Cremona. FRANK: Lotsa quail in Cremona. ALL: Our next jump in Parma, FRANK: That heartless, artless menace, ALL: Then Mantua, then Padua, FRANK: Then we open again, ALL: where?! [Bridge] FRANK: Oh, let me see now, I got a map, let's pick out someplace. SAMMY: Well just don't go too far down the line there, DEAN: oh let's take the first canyon out of here. FRANK: As a matter fact if we order we can beat the tab, FRANK: ‘Cause the sheriff out there waiting for us. FRANK: Goodbye boys, DEAN: gida, gida, gida.
