[Lyric] Yell If Youre Italian (Vinnie Corbo)

Verse 1:
My family's Italian so that means we’re strong and proud
But when we're out in public people think we talk too loud

We like to fight and argue and some people find us rude
Cause the only time we're quiet is when our mouth is full of food

Be careful where you stand cause we talk with our hands
We always say, "Capisce" to make sure you understand

So listen here my friend we’re very Italian
And Italians like to yell, that's how opera began

You gotta yell if you're Italian (Aah!)
You gotta yell if you're Italian (Ohh!)
You gotta yell if you're Italian
If not the case, stay in place
And shut up a-your face


Verse 2:
We talk so loud we never need a microphone
We answer all your questions with a question of our own
Like "Are you kidding me? or "Do I look dumb to you"
And of course, "If I was there, you know what I would do?"

Restaurants always seem to seat us in the back
Because we're always shouting at each other like were at the Track

Some people like to stare but we never seem to care
We just tell them take their food and go back to Delaware

(go back to the Olive Garden, go back to Chucky Cheese)

You gotta yell if you're Italian (Aah!)
You gotta yell if you're Italian (Ohh!)
You gotta yell if you’re Italian
If not the case, stay in place
And shut up a-your face


Verse 3:
If you have plastic on your sofa and dollies on your chairs
You probably have a back that covered with Italian hairs

(And) if you like your fabrics soft and your bread crust hard
You probably have a fountain in your own back yard

So celebrate your heritage every Columbus Day
Before some miserabile’ comes and takes it all away
So if you're from the boot don’t hold it all inside
Open your bocca (mouth) wide and show your Italian pride

You gotta yell if you're Italian
