I first loved this song
when I heard my neice's middle school choir sing it with these words:
Funiculi, Funicula
Neapolitan Folk Song
By Luigi Denza
Some think the world is made for fun and frolic, and so do I, and so do I!
Some think it well to be all melancholic, to pine and sigh, to pine and sigh
But I, I love to spend my time in singing, Some joyous song, some joyous song
To set the air with music bravely ringing, is far from wrong, is far from wrong!
Harken! Harken! Music sounds afar. Harken, Harken, music sounds afar
Funiculi, funicula, funiculi, funicula!
Joy is everywhere funiculi, funicula! Hey!
