Lyrics Randy Newman

Randy Newman

Kathleen (Catholicism Made Easier)

There is a countryard here in Chicago

Down by the river where no one goes

We could be married there in the countryard

By this old Spanish priest that no one knows

And he'll say

"Nel blu, dipinto

Dipinto di blu

Felice de stare

Di stare lassu"

That means you love him

And he loves you

"Piu bel ci sono

Ci sei tu"

Kathleen, Kathleen, Kathleen

The best one in the world

Kathleen, Kathleen, Kathleen

I've always been crazy about Irish girls

I've always been crazy about Irish girls

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey,

Come what may

Her, hey, hey, hey

I'm gonna take you away, away

Kathleen, Kathleen, Kathleen

I've searched through all the world

I dream of you, Kathleen

I've always been crazy about Irish girls

I've always been crazy about Irish girls
