When It's Night-Time in Italy, It's Wednesday Over Here Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]A Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah college college college college
boy threw all his books away.
He said, "I've lost my appetite,
my hair is turning grey.
I know my Greek and History,
and Latin is a "pie",
But if East is East and West is West,
then won't you tell me why

[Verse 2]
When it's [G]night time in Italy it's
[D]Wednesday over [G]here.
When it's fish day in Germany,
You can't get
shaved in Massachusetts.
How high is up? I'd like to know.
How low is [A]down? And
when will we have snow?
If you bump into [D]Gallager you'll find that
Shean is near
When it's night-time [G]in in Italy it's
Wednesday over here."

[Verse 3]
When it's [G]night time in Italy it's Wednesday
over here.
When it's Christ[Am]mas in Albany,
They're catching fish in
Scandanavia.
That's right, you're wrong.
No, no; you're wrong; that's
right.
Although the days are long
It's al[A]ways cool at night.
If you can't play the piccolo
The holidays are near
When it's night time in Italy and [D]Wednesday
over here.

[Verse 4]
This Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah college [D]college college college
boy stood up in class and said,
[G]"I looked up my Geography,
and found out Ceasar's dead!
The reason I speak Portuguese
is I'm some [Am]clever guy.
But if "parley vous"
means "how are you"
then won't you tell me why
[D]When it's

[Verse 5]
[G]night-time in in [E]Italy
it's [A]Wednesday [D]over [G]here.
All the onions in Sicily make people
cry in California.
You drive a horse. I drive a Ford.
That doesn't prove a sailor
is a board.
If you talk to an Eskimo
his breath will freeze your ear.
When it's night-time in in Italy
it's [D]Wednesday over [G]here.

[Verse 6]
When [G]it's night-time in in Italy
it's Wednesday over here.
When it's wash day in Piccardy
They're [A]eating ice cream
[D]cones in Georgia
[G]Sixteen and four [Am]makes thirty one.
[A]Take eight from five and [D]your
day's work is done.
There are [G]people who hesitate,
but [Am]corned-beef makes makes them cheer
[D]When it's [G]night-time in in [E]Italy
and [Am]Wednesday [D]over [G]here.

[Verse 7]
[G]
When it's night time in Italy,
it's [D]Wednesday over [G]here.
When the wind blows in Louisville,
I always dream of Julius Caesar.
[A]Young folks are young, of course
And old [D]folks are old, why not.
Fire is very hot, [G]but ice is sometimes cold.
Try and fondle a porcupine,
what makes [A]ice cream so dear?
When it's night time in Italy,
it's Wednesday over here.

[Verse 8]
[A]I saw a Chinaman
Fight a Scandanavian.
Up stepped an Englishman, and said,
[D]"I'd like to speak.
Why kick this man around?
Why strike him when he's down?
[G]Just hit him with a hammer and then bite
him on his cheek!"

[Verse 9]
Up stepped an Irish [Am]cop
Who said, "This fight will have to stop.
[G]I'd like to know what the
scrap is all about".
They said, [E]"When we tell you,
It will drive you nutty too."
[Am]And so they [D]held the traffic
[G]up while they tried to figure out.

[Verse 10]
[G]
When it's night-time in in Italy,
it's [D]Wednesday over [G]here.
When the snow falls in Araby
They're squeezing
grapes in California.
Look at you here. [A]Grass
on the dew.
Leather shoes [D]are [G]black,
but other shoes are new.
If there's sunshine in [Am]Washington,
what makes the moonshine dear?
When it's night [A]time in Italy,
it's Wednesday over here.

[Verse 11]
If you lay on [D]a mattress,
you'll find that spring is near.
If you [G]haven't an [A]appet
ite, just [G]think of Paul Revere.
By the [Am]time that they pass a bill to
bring back wine and beer,
[D]It'll be [G]night-time in in [E]Italy
and [Am]Wednesday [D]over [G]here.
