Fà 'a vita 'e notte sott'a nu lampione E quando arriva mezzanotte Scende e Va a faticà' Ma che peccato ca è nu poco ricchione Ha cominciato col vestito della sorella Pe pazzià' E vo' essere na signora Crede ancora all'amore Sogna la vita coniugale Ma per strada poi sta male Perché si girano a guardare S'astipa 'e sorde pe ll'operazione Non ha alternativa Solo azione decisiva. E mi chiamerò Teresa Scenderò a far la spesa Me facce crescere 'e capille E me metto 'e tacchi a spillo Inviterò gli amici a casa A passare una giornata Senza avere la paura Che ci sia una chiamata E uscire poi per strada E gridare SO' NORMALE! E nisciuno me dice niente E nemmeno la stradale. E vo' essere na signora...
