THE STEELWORKER

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

Hip Hop perched up on a beam
Way above the crowd
I’m as happy as I seem
Sitting on a cloud
Hip! I’m at the top
Hop! On top of New York

Tough guys throwin’ steel around
Way above the ground
Like they are dancing with the
Joists and the girders
1,2 and 3 and 4
Hoist! Up to the next floor.

Working for my pay
Like any other guy
Just another day
For cowboys in the sky

Down there tryin’ to make a buck
I ran out of luck
Man I hardly got to eat
Just a bum on the street
Up here I’m the guy to meet
I’m mister Rockefeller

Hip Hop sitting on a cloud
Way above the crowd
I’m as happy as a clam
Betcha life I am
Hip! I’m at the top
Hop! On top of New York

Tough guys throwin’ steel around
Way above the ground
Like they are dancing with the
Joists and the girders
1,2 and 3 and 4
Hoist! We’re going up
Up to the top floor.

Italiano:
A Londra sono stato, Mamma mia, Mamma mia,
A Londra sono stato a mangiare un po’ di gnocchi.
Il cuoco mi ha servito, Mamma mia, Mamma mia, dei gnocchi cosi cotti,
Che sembrano cemento!
A Parigi sono stato, Mamma mia, Mamma mia,
A Parigi sono stato a mangiare maccheroni.
Il cuoco mi ha servito, Mamma mia, Mamma mia,
Tre scarsi maccheroni, che del gusto solo l’ombra!
Ah, Mamma!
Ah Mamma
!Ah Mamma mia, la tua pasta,
Al po-po-po-po-po-po-po-mo-do-ro,
Nessuno la fà, con la tua salsa
Con pep-pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-ron-ni.
Dei ravioli, dei tortellini,
E l'o-l'o-l'o-l'o-l'o-l'o-glio d'o-li-va,
Da mamma mamma mia, io son' in paradiso,
Da mam-ma mam-ma mi-a, io son in pa-pa-ra-diso.
A Pechino loro fanno, Mamma mia, Mamma mia,
A Pechino loro fanno
Stranissimi spaghetti.
Mangiar con le bacchette, Mamma mia, Mamma mia,
Ma mangiar con le bacchette, c'è da diventar matto!
A Miami ho ordinato, Mamma mia, Mamma mia,
A Miami ho ordinato
Pesto e parmigiano.
E che mi hanno portato? Mamma mia, Mamma mia,
E che mi hanno portato?
Ketchup e coca cola!Ah, Mamma!
Ah Mamma mia, la tua pasta,
Al po-po-po-po-po-po-po-mo-do-ro,
Nessuno la fà, con la tua salsa
Con pep-pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-ron-ni.
Dei ravioli, dei tortellini,
E l'o-l'o-l'o-l'o-l'o-l'o-glio d'o-li-va,
Da mamma mamma mia, io son' in paradiso,
Da mam-ma mam-ma mi-a, io son in pa-pa-ra-diso.
