Lyrics[]
Balla balla o balla bambina
Balla balla fina mattina
Balla balla o balla piccina
Balla balla e non ti fermar
Se ti svegli alla mattina
Balla pure con tua cugina
Balla balla o balla bambina
Balla balla e non ti fermar
Balla balla o balla bambina
Balla balla fina mattina
Balla balla o balla piccina
Balla balla e non ti fermar
Balla balla o balla bambina
Balla balla fina mattina
Balla balla o balla piccina
Balla balla e non ti fermar
L’atro giorno mi sono svegliato
E ti ho chiesto cosa voi far
L’atro giorno mi sono svegliato
Tu mi hai detto andiamo ballar
Balla balla o balla bambina
Balla balla fina mattina
Balla balla o balla piccina
Balla balla e non ti fermar
La, la, la, lai, lai, la, la, la, lai, lai

Lai, lai, la la la, lai
La, la, la, lai, lai, la, la, la, lai, lai
Lai, lai, la la la, lai
La, la, la, lai, lai, la, la, la, lai, lai
