I met her in a club down by Il Muro
where you drink fine wine from the cellars of Prince Villanova
N-O-V-A Nova
She walked up to me in a fishnet veil.
I asked her name and in a voice like silk she said, "No-va"
Valentina Villa-No-va, na na na na No-va
Well, I'm not the world's most dangerous guy,
but when she batted her eyes she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Nova, Va Va Villa-Nova
Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
why she dress like a woman but she plot like a man
Oh my Nova, na na na na Nova, Va Va Villa-Nova
Well, we drank his wine and danced all night,
under arachnid candlelight,
she scuttled up close, put her hand on my knee,
She said, "eh, ragazz', won't you come home with me?"
Well, I'm not the world's strongest Man of Will,
but when she tugged my threads,
then I wanted to kill Vill-a-Nova,
to kill Villanova, to kill Villanova
No-va, the Prince Villanova, Giovanni Villanova
I pushed her away. I walked to the door.
I strapped on my sword. I fell to my knees.
I looked at her, and she at me.
So that's how it stands though it ain't too wise.
'Cause the antidote lies in the hands of my Villanova.
Valentin-a Villanova.
Girls teach the boys, and boys learn from girls.
It's an Ambrogiesco duellist's world,
for Villanova. Gio-Vanni Villanova
Well I reached Dionna just a week before,
and I'd never ever been poisoned before,
Valentina smiled, took me by the hand,
said, "Use this phial when you meet my man."
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man,
but I fight left-handed and I bet I'm a man,
but so is No-va. Giovanni Villanova. Giovanni Villanova.
No-va Na na na na No-va. Va Va Villano-va.
Na na na na No-va. Va Va Villano-va.
Na na na na No-va. Va Va Villano-va.
Na na na na No-va. Va Va Villano-va.
Va Va Villano-va...
