Edoardo Vianello Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se prima ero solo
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso siamo in due
A ballare l'hully gully
Se prima eravamo in due
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso siamo in tre
A ballare l'hully gully

Se prima eravamo in tre
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso siamo in quattro
A ballare l'hully gully
Se prima eravamo in quattro
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso c'è un Flipper
Che ci suona un ritornello
Se prima eravamo in quattro
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso siamo in cinque
A ballare l'hully gully
Se prima eravamo in cinque
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso siamo in sei
A ballare l'hully gully
Se prima eravamo in sei
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso siamo in sette
A ballare l'hully gully
Se prima eravamo in sette
A ballare l'hully gully

Ecco un altro flipper
Che ci suona un motivetto
Se prima eravamo in sette
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso siamo in otto
A ballare l'hully gully
Se prima eravamo in otto
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso siamo in nove
A ballare l'hully gully
Se prima eravamo in nove
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso siamo in dieci
A ballare l'hully gully
Se prima eravamo in dieci
A ballare l'hully gully

Ecco un altro flipper
Che ci suona qualche cosa
Se prima eravamo in dieci
A ballare l'hully gully
Se prima eravamo in dieci
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso sono solo
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso sono solo
A ballare l'hully gully
Adesso sono solo
A ballare l'hully gully

Adesso sono solo
A ballare l'hully gully
