When I Paint My Masterpiece Lyrics

	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

	Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
	Ancient footprints are everywhere
	You can almost think that you' re seein' double
