Intro: G G G G G G G G What if we went to Italy, a suitcase of books and one bag a piece C C G G for the summer; I don't speak a word of Italian D D D D Except for Campari and soda for two, how much is a lira? Yes, a villa will do C C G G And a breeze, in Tuscany please What if we spent all of our days improving our minds, learning new ways to be lazy; it wouldn't be too much of a strain Relax after breakfast till lunch comes around, I can't wait for dinner, oh I need to lie down And refuel, out by the pool C D What if the ancients were lazy like us Bm Em Too blissed out to paint, to sketch or to sculpt Am B7 Just as relaxed as the tower of Pisa Em G7 Not ever missing that old Mona Lisa C D What if we never got back on the plane Bm Em As summer turned colder and then warmer again Am D Losing all track of the passing of years C D Till it no longer mattered how long we'd been here C D Bm Em Am B7 C D D [instrumental] What if we went to Italy, maybe next year, just you and me for the summer; I still can't speak any Italian But words are replaced under Siena skies by nothing so much as a nod, and a sigh, C C G. And a wish to be always like this
