Can't you hear the parade? Somebody's calling my name
There on the sidewalk and all the people turn their heads to see
Ah Mama, am I holding on to the wings of a prayer?
Waiting for Rosie, tell me do you think she cares
Ah, dancing in the streets, in little Italy
Ah, they're all dancing in the streets, in little Italy
I'm an old woman and your old enough to live your own life
But stay out of the barrels, the boys are seeing you with the clowns
Ah but Rosie, she gotta rainbow 'round her shoulder
You better not lose her, wild flowers make her heart sing
Ah, they're dancing in the streets, in little Italy
Ah, they are dancing in the streets, in little Italy
Ah, they're all dancing in the streets, in little Italy
Ah, they are dancing in the streets, in little Italy
