Napoli era un agitare di ventagli tra il cafè chantant
e il pesce fritto e il baccalà
Tra i banchi lotto usciva alla marina
dove ogni notte dalle carrozze scendevano
dame incipriate e i marinai americani
guardavano da sotto in su
Le stelle di prima estate dai grandi sarti ricamate
eleganza che precedeva l'Europa di trent'anni
tra smargiassi e usuraie il cantante era luccicante
le finestre si aprivano e gli amori nascevano
bell'epoque di lustrini e guapperia
Bell'èpoque di orchestrine
piovevano fiori sulle regine
vecchie cose trapuntavano coltri dietro tende di pizzo
sul carrettiere e lo scugnizzo
E tutto di Napoli si concentrava sulla via
venditori di zeppole e maccheroni
agli pennacchi ricco sangue e borghesia
Napoli tra un lumicino e una Madonna
usciva a via Caracciolo lungo mare via via
scrittori e poeti pendevano dalle sue labbra
come la biancheria
Luce di cubana e di quadranti d'orologi
e di parole che non si usano più oggi
passa a via Chiaia l'ultimo cantante di giacca
gli si indovina la precisione dei milionari di una volta
