[Intro] (Upbeat 126 BPM Disco Beat) (Cheesy 80s Synth Brass Hook) (Hand claps: 1-2, 1-2-3) [Verse 1 - Male] The sun is setting in Portofino, we're sitting in the café You sip your Prosecco, my heart aches Your hair is fresh from the hairdresser, the dress is brand new And I wonder as I pay: Will you actually stay faithful to me? The fridge has been empty for weeks, just a lonely salad But you buy designer bags, Susi, that's high treason! [Verse 2 - Female] My love, don't get upset, I have to look radiant How am I supposed to walk around the Piazza in old shoes? That I smoke like a chimney, that's just my temperament And the apartment... oh my darling, that's a new arrangement! Work is a foreign word to me, it doesn't suit my style. In return, I give you my smile – isn't that a lot? [Chorus - Both] Ohoho, Hey Susi, my wife! [Male] You're taking the shirt off my back, I know it for sure! [Female] Oh, darling, you're so generous, the world is colorful for us! [Male] But Susi, tell me honestly: work isn't a reason for you? [Both] I'm a fool, a good fool, amore mio You live in pure luxury, and I pay for the trio! [Verse 3 - Duet / Call and Response] [Male] You say: "Amore, buy me this!", and I play my card again. [Female] Come on, that little bit of money, my darling, that I'm happy to wait for! [Male] Not a cent or a euro from you ends up in my account. [Female] But when it comes to spending, I'm extra quick! [Male] The place is a mess, your ashes are everywhere. [Female] Don't be a frog, my sweet bear, and reach into your own pocket! [Bridge - Male] (Music slows down, solo synth) I'm a good fool, yes, I guess I am. You're emptying my bank account, but my heart is never empty... (Beat drops back in) One! Two! Three! Go! [Chorus - Both] Ohoho, Hey Susi, my wife! [Male] You're taking the shirt off my back, I know it for sure! [Female] Oh, darling, you're so generous, the world is colorful for us! [Male] But Susi, tell me honestly: Is work not a reason for you? [Both] I'm a fool, a good fool, my love You live in pure luxury, and I'm paying for the trio! [Outro] [Male] Susie, I'm broke! [Female] But honey, there's still this one handbag... [Male] I'm such a fool! [Female] My dearest fool! [Both] Love! Love! (Big Finish, Saxophone Solo) [End]
