about

A true love story set in the north of italy in a camper van. Provolone is a type of italian cheese, but it's also the slang word for a casanova, or a don juan

lyrics

It was midnight
On a bridge beside
A fountain in a park
In northern Italy
I was playing music
She sat down to listen
Then we started talking
And she said to me
Tell me where you come from
Tell me where you’re going
Maybe I can join you
As you travel round
I said I was leaving
First thing in the morning
Meet me where the campers s
Stay when they’re in town

Sure enough the next day
i was bright and early
i’d said all her goodbyes
So we drove away
Stopped to get some diesel
Have a little breakfast
Drove a little further
Found a place to stay
I told her that I liked her
Thought that she was funny
Thought that she was pretty
And thought that she was sweet
She said that I was only
Just a provolone
Who’d try my luck with every
Single girl I meet

i said ihe wasn’t interested
But I protested
Said I’d like to prove
That I was not so bad
i said i’d like to learn
To play the mandolin
And that if I could teach her
She’d concentrate on that
I told her that I liked her
Thought that she was funny
Thought that she was pretty
And maybe we’d be good
She said that I was only
Just a provolone
I asked if I could kiss her
And she said I could

She said that I was only
Just a provolone
I asked if I could kiss her
And she said I could
