  *++Lyrics:|\\
//Bettina: //\\
When I behold your manly form,\\
A sweet emotion agitates me\\
//Pippo: //\\
And when Bettina, your face I see,\\
Delight unbounded permeates me,\\
//etc.//\\
The tones melodious of your voice,\\
Are sweeter far than sweetest honey,\\
And when your glances rest on me,\\
Right there, it makes me feel so funny.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
I my turkeys love,\\
And I my sheep love,\\
When they sound their sweet -- gobble, gobble, gobble,\\
When they softly bleat -- ba,\\
//(together)// But ...\\
You I more than turkeys love,\\
And you more than sheep I love,\\
When they sound their sweetest gobble, gobble,\\
When they softly bleat ba,\\
Gobble, gobble, gobble,\\
ba,\\
//(etc.)//\\
\\
Whenever, love your eyes meet mine,\\
I feel a strange exhilaration,\\
And of your hair the sweet perfume,\\
Gives a delightful titillation.\\
When you approach me suddenly,\\
Just like a little chick a-tremble,\\
And when your little hand meets mine,\\
My raptures I cannot disemble.\\
\\
