Learnin' My Latin

(album: Manhattan Tower - 1956)

"Omnus Gallia tres partes di vista est"
I'm learning my Latin and I'm passing the test
That means that all of Gaul's divided in parts of three
I'm learning my Latin, get a load of me!

"Amavi", I have loved
"Amavisti", thou hast loved
"Amave", he has loved
"Amavili", we have loved
"Amaveri", thou mayest
"Amavisti", thou might'st

Is my conjugation up to par?
Your verbs are really quite irregular
"Vini, vidi, vici", as they used to say in Gaul
I'm learning my Latin, and I'm having a ball
Having a ball, ball!

"Amavi", I have loved
"Amavisti", thou hast loved
"Amave", he has loved
"Amavili", we have loved
"Amaveri", thou mayest
"Amavisti", thou might'st

Is my conjugation up to par?
Your verbs are really quite irregular
"Vini, vidi, vici", as they used to say in Gaul
She's learning her Latin, and I'm having a ball
(Yes, she's having a ball!)
Oh, I'm having a ball (Yes, she's having a ball!)
Oh, I'm having a ball!
