Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble,
Ancient footprints are everywhere.
You can almost think that youâre seeinâ double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room,
Where Iâve got me a date with Botticelliâs niece.
She promised that sheâd be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece.
Oh, the hours Iâve spent inside the Coliseum,
Dodging lions and wastinâ time.
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see âem,
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb.
Train wheels runninâ through the back of my memory,
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece.
Sailinâ round the world in a dirty gondola.
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
I left Rome and landed in Brussels,
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried.
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullinâ muscles,
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside.
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police.
Someday, everything is gonna be diffârent
When I paint my masterpiece.
