The Everly Brothers – When It’s Night Time in Italy, It’s Wednesday Over Here

When It’s Night Time in Italy, It’s Wednesday Over Here

Hey music lovers! Today, I want to introduce you to a hidden gem from the 1960s that will transport you to the romantic streets of Italy. The song is called “When It’s Night Time in Italy, It’s Wednesday Over Here” and it’s performed by the legendary duo, The Everly Brothers.

Released in 1962 as part of their album “Instant Party!”, this track captures the essence of a dreamy Italian evening. The Everly Brothers, known for their impeccable harmonies, deliver a mesmerizing performance that will make you feel like you’re strolling through the cobblestone streets of Rome.

The composition history of this song is quite interesting. It was written by the talented songwriting duo, Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, who were known for their ability to create timeless melodies. The Bryants were inspired by their own experiences of being in different time zones while on tour, and they beautifully captured the longing and yearning for a loved one in this song.

But what does the title mean? Well, it’s a clever play on the time difference between Italy and the United States. When it’s nighttime in Italy, it’s already Wednesday in the US. This juxtaposition adds a touch of whimsy to the song and enhances its romantic appeal.

When you listen to “When It’s Night Time in Italy, It’s Wednesday Over Here,” you’ll be transported to a world of enchantment. The gentle strumming of the guitar, the soothing vocals of The Everly Brothers, and the evocative lyrics will make you feel like you’re sipping espresso in a quaint Italian café.

If you’re a fan of nostalgic tunes or simply want to experience the magic of 1960s music, I highly recommend giving this song a listen. It’s a hidden gem that deserves more recognition.

So, grab a glass of wine, close your eyes, and let The Everly Brothers take you on a musical journey to Italy. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

When It’s Night Time in Italy, It’s Wednesday Over Here – The Everly Brothers lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

… A Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah college boy threw all his books away.
He said, “I’ve lost my appetite, my hair is turning grey.
I know my Greek and History, and Latin is a “pie”,
But if East is East and West is West, then won’t you tell me why

… When it’s night time in Italy it’s Wednesday over here.
When it’s fish day in Germany,
You can’t get shaved in Massachusetts.
How high is up? I’d like to know.
How low is down? And when will we have snow?
If you bump into Gallager you’ll find that Shean is near
When it’s night-time in Italy it’s Wednesday over here.”

… When it’s night time in Italy it’s Wednesday over here.
When it’s Christmas in Albany,
They’re catching fish in Scandanavia.
That’s right, you’re wrong.
No, no; you’re wrong; that’s right.
Although the days are long
It’s always cool at night.
If you can’t play the piccolo
The holidays are near
When it’s night time in Italy and Wednesday over here.

… This Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah college boy stood up in class and said,
“I looked up my Geography, and found out Ceasar’s dead!
The reason I speak Portuguese is I’m some clever guy.
But if “parley vous” means “how are you”
then won’t you tell me why

… When it’s night-time in Italy it’s Wednesday over here.
All the onions in Sicily make people cry in California.
You drive a horse. I drive a Ford.
That doesn’t prove a sailor is a board.
If you talk to an Eskimo his breath will freeze your ear.
When it’s night-time in Italy it’s Wednesday over here.

… When it’s night-time in Italy it’s Wednesday over here.
When it’s wash day in Piccardy
They’re eating ice cream cones in Georgia
Sixteen and four makes thirty one.
Take eight from five and your day’s work is done.
There are people who hesitate, but corned-beef makes them cheer
When it’s night-time in Italy and Wednesday over here.

… When it’s night time in Italy, it’s Wednesday over here.
When the wind blows in Louisville,
I always dream of Julius Caesar.
Young folks are young, of course
And old folks are old, why not.
Fire is very hot, but ice is sometimes cold.
Try and fondle a porcupine, what makes ice cream so dear?
When it’s night time in Italy, it’s Wednesday over here.

… I saw a Chinaman
Fight a Scandanavian.
Up steped an Englishman, and said, “I’d like to speak.
Why kick this man around?
Why strike him when he’s down?
Just hit him with a hammer and then bite him on his cheek!”

… Up stepped an Irish cop
Who said, “This fight will have to stop.
I’d like to know what the scrap is all about”.
They said, “When we tell you,
It will drive you nutty too.”
And so they held the traffic up while they tried to figure out.

… When it’s night-time in Italy, it’s Wednesday over here.
When the snow falls in Araby
They’re squeezing grapes in California.
Look at you here. Grass on the dew.
Leather shoes are black, but other shoes are new.
If there’s sunshine in Washington, what makes the moonshine dear?
When it’s night time in Italy, it’s Wednesday over here.

… If you lay on a mattress, you’ll find that spring is near.
If you haven’t an appetite, just think of Paul Revere.
By the time that they pass a bill to bring back wine and beer,
It’ll be night-time in Italy and Wednesday over here.
