Mangiafuoco (Edoardo Bennato)
Don't joke, it's not a game
Mangiafuoco is coming
He commands and moves the fili
he makes the puppets dance.
Be careful everyone
he doesn't give many compliments
those who don't dance or dance badly
he sends them to the hospital.
But if he finds out that you don't have the wires
if he notices that you don't do the dance...
then there's trouble and you'll realize it
be careful what you do, careful boy
who calls his gendarmes and declares you
crazy...
There's a big ball this evening
and everyone has a flag
puppets, commendants,
they will all dance.
All the party leaders
and above Mangiafuoco
Mangiafuoco makes the choices,
pulls the strings and has fun.
/>But if he finds out that you don't have strings
if he realizes that you don't do the dance...
There is a very beautiful dance
between Harlequin and Pulcinella
they kick themselves, they break their bones,
Mangiafuoco is at the cash register.
Mangiafuoco makes the tickets
keeps the prices very high
there's nothing else competitor
whoever tries regrets it.
But if he discovers that you don't have the strings
if he realizes that you don't do the dance...
