Botch-a-me, I'll-botcha you and ev'rything goes crazy
Bah-bah, botch-a-me, bambino
Bah-bah-bo, bo, boca piccolino
When you kiss me and I'm a-kissa you
Tra la la la la la la la la loo
Bah-bah, botch-a-me, my baby
Bah-bah-bo, bo, just say "Yes" and maybe
If-a you squeeze me and I'm a-squeeza you
Tra la la la la la la la la loo
Bee-oo, bye-oh, bee-oo, boo
Won't you botch-a-, botch-a-me?

When you botch-a-me, I a-botcha you and ev'rything goes crazy
Bah-bah, botch-a-me, bambino

And then we will raise a great big family
Tra la la la la la la la la lee
Botch-a-me, I'll-botcha you and ev'rything goes crazy
Bah-bah, botch-a-me, my baby
Bah-bah-bo, bo, just say "Yes" and maybe
If-a you squeeze me and I'm a-squeeza you

And then we will raise a great big family
Tra la la la la la la la la
Bee-oo, bye-oh, bee-oo, boo
Botch-a-me, bambino, botch-a-me
SPOKEN: That's nice!!
TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Some versions, but not Clooney's, include an intro:
Tony arrived from Italy
Then he met his sweet Marie
His English made his sweetheart laugh
The way he'd talk, so half and half
When he'd say:
