   John and I are nearly done.

   [EMBED]

   Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble,
   Ancient footprints are everywhere.
   You can almost think that you're seein' double
   On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.
   Got to hurry on back to my hotel room,
   Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece.
   She promised that she'd be right there with me
   When I paint my masterpiece.
   Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum,
   Dodging 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 wheels runnin' through the back of my memory,
   When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese.
   Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody When I paint my
   masterpiece.
   Sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola.
   Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
   I left Rome and landed in Brussels,
   On a 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.
   Newspapermen eating candy
   Had to be held down by big police.
   Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent
   When I paint my masterpiece.
