C'era un re



In Piemonte c'era un RE
con manie di grandezza
Re Vittorio Emanuele
con un regno da Operetta
ed intorno c'erano tanti
altri regni tutti grandi
cosi' per disperazione
lui cerco' una soluzione
comincio' da Cavour Mazzini
e Garibaldi e poi
coinvolse tutti quanti
e tra Bixio ed altri 1000
e tra fiamme e scintille
completarono a Teano
il loro folle colpo di mano

è è è così s'inventarono l'Italia

è è è così s'inventarono l'Italia

Cosi' sotto una sola bandiera
comincio' la tiritera
colpa tua
colpa mia
tra i briganti ed i Savoia
tutti sempre insoddisfatti
nord e sud cani e gatti
Metternich
l'aveva detto
ma pensarono ad un dispetto
c'era troppa differenza
tra Vigevano e Cosenza
e tra Alpi e Madonie
proprio niente da spartire
ma la cosa piu' tremenda
e' che la differenza aumenta
nel tepore della Patria
rileggetevi il copione
sventolare il tricolore
e' una vera provocazione
e' concesso solo ad un patto
in un'unica occasione
solo se
la Nazionale
batte tutti nel pallone

è è è così s'inventarono l'Italia

è è è così s'inventarono l'Italia

Questa figlia dei Savoia+
questa Italia da operetta
questa Italia dei valori
lunga lunga stretta stretta
da pontida a Mercogliano
da Monopoli a Belluno
tutti avanti
miei prodi
tutti figli di nessuno
chi e' rimasto imbottigliato
cerca scampo contromano
chi e' fedele alla Padania
e chi a Napolitano
ma che bella rimpatriata
ma che bella fregatura
c'e' chi brucia la BANDIERA
e chi incendia spazzatura.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
