Little Italian Boy
Romantic Delight: Little Italian Boy's Heartfelt Charms
Lyrics
Uhh No I didn't write a song for him
Denial of writing a song for the mentioned person
That would be HA HA weird
Humorous dismissal of the idea
Who would do that
Rhetorical question emphasizing non-involvement
Not me
Reiteration of non-involvement
Uhh
Expressive pause
1 2 3 4
Counting in preparation
Little Italian Boy
Repetition of the title, addressing the boy
Little Italian Boy
-Little Italian Boy
-Little Italian Boy
-I met a little Italian boy
Introducing the Italian boy
He's from New York City
Identifying his origin
He's got big curly hair
Describing his physical appearance
And he's oh so pretty
Appreciation of his beauty
And when he smiles that's a picture that I wanna take
Expressing desire to capture his smile in a picture
And when he talks
Impression of his speech
Oh my goodness man, gimme a break
Overwhelmed by his charm
I said
Repetition of addressing the boy
Little Italian Boy
Reiteration of addressing the boy, complimenting his mother's recipe
Little Italian Boy
-I think your Moms baked ziti recipe is something I'd really enjoy
Expressing liking for the boy's mother's recipe
Little Italian Boy
Commenting on the boy's appearance
I said you got some nerve lookin that good
Acknowledging the boy's attractiveness
I don't know what it is
Uncertain about the attraction felt
But I think I should
Expressing the willingness to explore the attraction
I know your Father left you but I never would
Assuring commitment despite past experiences
Little Italian Boy
Reiteration of addressing the boy
And if he was a Subway sandwich he'd be a
Comparing the boy's qualities humorously
Spicy Italian BMT
-But he's usually in the kitchen 'cause he's
Referencing the boy's culinary skills humorously
Chef Boyardee
-And when he gives me kisses
Playful mention of receiving affection
Oh he leaves so many hickeys
Dealing with affectionate playfulness
But he's sorry and he's very cute about it
-So it's fine
Acceptance of playful behavior
Little Italian Boy
Reiteration of addressing the boy
Little Italian Boy
-I said you may be 5'3" and I may be 5'9"
Metaphorical comparison of heights and roles in the relationship
But you're the squirrel and I'm the tree
-You find the nut every time
Metaphorical humor about finding each other
Little Italian
Reiteration of addressing the boy
Oh Little Italian
-Now, holding you at night is super nice
Expressing comfort in intimacy but caution in attachment
But leave quickly in the morning
Desire for emotional distance
Or your heart will pay the price
Warning about emotional consequences
Little girl, let me offer you some free advice
Offering advice on relationships
Your heart's goddamn lasagna and he's
Metaphorical representation of emotional vulnerability
Takin a bite of it
-Little Italian Boy
Reiteration of addressing the boy, expressing joy and desire for connection
Oh, Little Italian Boy
-When you hold me it brings me
Expressing happiness and contentment in embrace
So much joy
Emphasizing emotional fulfillment
Little Italian Boy
Reiteration of addressing the boy
Oh Mamma, Mamma mia
Expressing enthusiasm and cultural reference
Can you take me to your pizzeria
Expressing desire to be part of his world humorously
Oh baby, I'm on my knees-a
-Oh Little Italian
Final addressing of the boy with affection
Boy
