Louis Prima Felicia No Capicia
I took Felicia out to Coney
She ate a fortune in ziti and macaroni
But when I said “I’d love ta kiss ya”
Felicia no capicia
You gotta see the things I bought her
I took her out and spent my money just like water
But when my heart got fever-icia
Felicia no capicia
She knew the names of all the eats
She knew the sweets, the vegetables and meats
But when it came to makin’ love
She was as cold as yesterday’s a-piz
As cold ha ha
No matter what she craves I bring her
I went in hock to put a ring upon her finger
But when I said “I’d love ta kiss ya”
Felicia no capicia
She understood, she hear me good
When I said “Have some real imported cheese”
But when I said “Give me a squeeze”
You’d think I was talking Portuguese
And all the time she was a Calabrese
I tried to make her feel relaxing
I even took her home to Brooklyn in a taxi
But when I said “I’d love ta kiss ya”
Felicia no capicia
Then I said “Lola, let me hold ya”
Felicia no capicia
And then I said “Lola, let me squeeze ya”
Felicia no capicia
Then she said “Wella, first let’s get married”
