AND ANCIENT FOOTPRINTS ARE EVERYWHERE 
          C      G                 C           G 
YOU COULD ALMOST THINK THAT YOU'D BEEN SEEIN' DOUBLE

WHERE I GOT ME A DATE WITH MONATELLI'S NIECE

WHEN I PAINT MY MASTERPIECE 


OH THE TIME I SPENT INSIDE THE COLLISEUM 
DODGIN' LIONS AND WASTIN' TIME 
OH THOSE MIGHTY KINGS OF THE JUNGLE 
I COULD HARDLY STAND TO SEE 'EM 
YES IT SURE HAS BEEN A LONG HARD CLIMB 
TRAIN WHEEL RUNNIN THROUGH THE BACK OF MY MEM'RY 
WHEN I RAN UP AH ILL TOP FOLLOWIN' A FLOCK OF WILD GEESE 
SOMEDAY EVERYTHINGS GONNA SOUND LIKE A RHAPSODY 
WHEN I PAINT THAT MASTERPIECE

OH TO BE BACK IN THE LAND OF (CORPA   CO - LA?)  

WELL I LEFT ROME AND I HEADED FOR BRUSSELS 
ON THE PLANE RIDE SO BUMPY THAT I ALMOST CRIED 
CLERGYMEN IN UNIFORM AND YOUNG GIRLS PULLIN' MUSCLES 
EVERYONE WAS THERE TO GREET ME WHEN I STEPPED INSIDE 
NEWSPAPER MEN EATIN' CANDY 
HAD TO BE HELD DOWN BY THE BIG POLICE 
SOMEDAY EVERYTHINGS GONNA BE DIFFERENT 
WHEN I PAINT MY MASTERPIECE
