Is breathing in women like oxygen On the Spanish stairs
In my youth I would have followed him
All through this terra-cotta town
On the first day of spring
We'd dance and sing And be the only joy around
We'd be the only joy around
Botticelli black boy The only joy in town
Botticelli black boy He's the only joy I've found all day
At night these streets are empty
Where does everybody go
Where are the brash and tender rooms
In Roman candle glow
Where are Fellini's circus
La Dolce Vita clowns
On the first day of spring
I'm looking at the only joy in town
The only joy around
Botticelli black boy The only joy I found
Botticelli black boy He's the only joy in town
Botticelli black boy
He's the only joy in town
Botticelli black boy
The only joy I found
Botticelli black boy
The only joy around Botticelli black boy
He's the only joy in town
Botticelli black boy
The only joy in town Botticelli black boy The only joy I found Botticelli black boy
