Victoria Emmanuele - Shawn Phillips

Victoria Emmanuele, she looks so clean and lithe

Victoria Emmanuele, finds it hard to pay the price

Victoria, your mouth is open

You look like you’re catchin' flies

You’re sick and tired of all the games

The polyglot and the lies

Won’t you,

Sing this song while you’re walkin through your life

Walk this way and you know it’s gotta treat you right

Victoria Emmanuele, is all right by me

Victoria Emmanuele, she’s stickin' to her guns at last

Victoria Emmanuele, she’s sheddin' off an ugly past

She’s subsidized by lots of love

Morality has just begun

Filled to the brim with light divine

She never feels the need to run

And she,

Sings this song while you’re walkin through your life

Walk this way and you know it’s gotta treat you right

Victoria Emmanuele, is all right by me

Victoria Emmanuele, beginning to believe in life

Victoria Emmanuele, discovered how to know the height

Victoria Emmanuele, reality’s not hard to find

And all your days and all your ways

It’s the only thing we must define

And you,

Sing this song while you’re walkin through your life

Walk this way and you know it’s gotta treat you right

Victoria Emmanuele, is all right by me

Victoria Emmanuele, she’s keepin' on in every way

She gets a little tired from time to time

But everybody does today

Too many people got specialized

Ain’t nobody got the time to sit with their friends

And spend some love and put the washin' on the line
