Louis Prima - Felicia, no capicia

Felicia, no capicia

Louis Prima

I took Felicia out to Coney

She ate a fortune in ziti and macaroni

But when I said "I'd love ta kiss ya"

Felicia no capicia

You gotta see the things I bought her

I took her out and spent my money just like water

But when my heart got fever-icia

Felicia no capicia

She knew the names of all the eats

She knew the sweets, the vegetables and meats

But when it came to makin' love

She was as cold as yesterday's a-piz

As cold ha ha

No matter what she craves I bring her

I went in hock to put a ring upon her finger

But when I said "I'd love ta kiss ya"

Felicia no capicia

She understood, she hear me good

When I said "Have some real imported cheese"

But when I said "Give me a squeeze"

You'd think I was talking Portuguese

And all the time she was a Calabrese

I tried to make her feel relaxing

I even took her home to Brooklyn in a taxi

But when I said "I'd love ta kiss ya"

Felicia no capicia

Then I said "Lola, let me hold ya"

Felicia no capicia

And then I said "Lola, let me squeeze ya"

Felicia no capicia

Then she said "Wella, first let's get married"
