Our Man in Europe/ dave delacroix/ "The VECCHIO Man."
(singin':) HE don't vote Christian or Musselman. He don't wear his pants above his span. He don't kiss da Gals and make 'em cry. He don't ask questions; he KNOWS just why? -He's da VECCHIO, the OLD, vecchio Man. He's da vecchio, H'uomo: Does the best dat he can.
HE's got opinions; who the hell don't? He's Democratic, but never votes. He's got family who he thinks are INSANE, but half the time, he wants to join in their game. He's da VECCHIO U'omo, the vecchio man; and - lonesome like U? - gets it when he can.
HE got some money -under da bed? His kids and grand-kids always get fed. A College sponsor (Sicily), a word or two, the Mafioso say: "No problem, Dude!" He got no problem, long as the sun shines...and music plays under those vines? -He's da Vecchio U'omo, the Vecchio Man: WANNA BE SOMEBODY!? -Sicilian vecchio Man.
