Nineteen in Naples

Well, when I was nineteen, I was insecure

Now ain't that nineteen?

I was over-intellectual, that's for sure

Nineteen in Naples, well

Nineteen, nineteen in Naples

I had American money falling out of my pants

Nineteen, nineteen

Italian train tickets falling out of my hands

Nineteen in Naples

Nineteen, nineteen in Naples, alright

When I was nineteen, I went across the sea

And I found myself in Italy

Oh, nineteen, nineteen in Naples

Uh oh, I walk in an alley

Italian kids are looking at me funny

They're sort of surrounding me

They figure maybe I got money

They're looking at my wallet

This almost was a wrong turn for me

Well, I didn't like this and I didn't like that

Nineteen, nineteen

I was such a little brat

Nineteen in Naples

Nineteen, nineteen in Naples

Guitar

Uh oh, hey, I'm checking into the pension

It's 2:00 a.m., I'm carrying my bags

The Italian guys are playing poker in their underwear

Yonder the green light in the lobby

I'll always remember that

Quite a big impression, well

When I was nineteen, I went across the pond

Nineteen, nineteen

And I found myself in the demimonde

Nineteen in Naples, yeah

Nineteen, nineteen in Naples, alright

Nineteen, nineteen in Naples, yeah

Nineteen, nineteen in Naples

Nineteen, nineteen in Naples
