Babaluci <br />

by: Lou Monte<br />

<br />

(spoken)<br />

When I was a little boy, my mother used <br />

to take me for walks along the beach. <br />

And I remember the first time I saw <br />

these rocks all covered with these little <br />

hard shelled creatures. And I asked her, <br />

"Hey mom, what are those things on the rocks over there." <br />

and she said to me, "Luigi, they are snails or parywinkles, <br />

in the old country they used to be called ? <br />

but your grandma had a pet name for them, <br />

she used to call them Babaluci. <br />

and this song is all about a little snail called Babaluci." <br />

(end spoken)<br />

<br />

I wake up in the morning, look out at the sea<br />

Take a walk out on the beach, and set my spirit free<br />

I hear the gulls a crying, a flying in the breeze<br />

I see my friend the little snail, he smiles and winks at me<br />

<br />

Babaluci, he's on the rocks making love the whole day long<br />

In the worth of summer, all winter long<br />

The only time he takes a break is when the tide comes in<br />

And when it turns the other way he starts right in again<br />

<br />

When we first met some months ago, his family number 3<br />

He's been such a busy snail its very plain to see<br />

You can hardly see the rock its covered side to side<br />

the Babaluci now numbers 95<br />

<br />

Babaluci, he's on the rocks making love the whole day long<br />

In the worth of summer, all winter long<br />

The only time he takes a break is when the tide comes in<br />

And when it turns the other way he starts right in again<br />

<br />

Maybe I should take my girl along the beach with me<br />

Have her watch this creature making love beside the sea<br />

It lues her imbtitions better luck then free<br />

Then I'd be known from her alone as Babaluci
