1. When I was a boy just about to leave the grade,
E
Mamma used to say, “Don't stay
out late,
B7
with
the bad boys, always shooting pool,
E - A
Giuseppe, don't flunk school !
E
2. Boy you're making me sick, all the things I gotta
do,
E
I can't be given no kicks, I just got to follow rules,
B7
boy,
you're making me sick, just to make the lousy bucks,
E
got
to feel like a fool.
A
And Mamma used to say all the time :
E
What's the matter, you ? Got
no respect.
E
What do you think you do? Why you look so sad ?
B7 E
It's not so bad, it's a nice place, ah, shaddap
you face !
A
That's my Mamma, I can remember !
+ A big acordeon solo !
+ B7 - E

3. Soon there'll come a day, gonna be a big
star,
E
then
I'll make TV shows and the movies, get a brand new car.
B7
Still I'll be myself, I don't
want to change a thing,
E
still
dance and sing
A
And think about the Mamma. She
used to say :
E
What's the matter, you, hey ? Got no respect.
E
What do you think you do? Why you look so sad ?
B7 E
It's not so bad, it's a nice place, ah, shaddap
you face !

Mamma, she said it all the time.
E
What's the matter, you, hey ? Got no respect.

It's not so bad, it's a nice place, ah, shaddap
you face !

Hello, everybody. That's how today !
I'm a radio and TV man. Did
you know I had a big hit song
in
Italy with this :
B7
Shaddap
you Face. I sing this song and all
of my friend abroad.
E A
They're clapping their hands. That makes me feel so good.
E
You've got to learn this song.
It's real simple. You see, I sing.
- B7
“Hey!" Then I sing the rest, and
then, at the end, we can all sing
E
"Ah Shaddap
You Face" ok?
A
Let's try to do it, uno, duo, tre, quatro !
E
What's the matter, you ? Hey
! Got no respect. Hey !
E
What do you think you do? Hey ! Why you look so
sad ? Hey !
B7
E
It's not so bad. Hey ! It's a nice place, ah, shaddap you face !
