Dean Martin - Hey, Punchinello lyrics

There's a famous man who's the
Idol of every clown
He started the profession and his
Tricks he handed down
So everyone who has a yen to be a happy man
Calls on Punchinello to help him if he can

Punchinello, hey Punchinello
La la la la la la you wonderful fellow
The fun you brought us
The things you taught us
Make a sad and weary world wonderfully mellow
Now when we're having trouble
The half a mountain high
A circus clown can knock 'em down
And never bat an eye
Punchinello, hey Punchinello
Oh the face of every clown's a work of art

Punchinello molto bello you ring a bell a
Bell a bell here in my heart
Punchinello, hey Punchinello
All my life I yearned to
Be your kind of fellow
If I could only make a lonely
Turn a gals little laugh into a bellow

To carry off the children
To some enchanted lands
To see their eyes and bright surprise
Is all that he demands hey Punchinello
Hey Punchinello
Let me change my face and tumble up and down
Hey Punchinello molto bello
Do you suppose I have a
Chance at being a clown

Many hear the call in the city of Napoli
The babe with Punchinello was the
Man they came to see
The clown would captivate the peasants
Or the noble prince
And in every circus they've
Done it ever since

Punchinello, hey Punchinello
La la la la la you wonderful fellow
The fun you brought us the
Things you taught us
Make a sad a weary world wonderfully mellow

The clown in the circus will
Get a special pride
When people laugh the kind of laugh
That warms them up inside
Punchinello, hey Punchinello
Oh the face of every clown's a work of art
Punchinello molto bello
You ring a bell a bell a bell a
Bell a bell a bell a bell
A bell a bell a bell a bell
A bell here in my heart hey Punchinello

Punchinello, hey Punchinello oh the face of
Every clown's a work of art
Punchinello molto bello
You ring a bell a bell a bell a bell a bell
A bell a bell a bell a bell a bell
Here in my heart
