Lyrics
Onomato Pia came from Rome, had a head of angel hair
Couldn’t speak a word of English, no one cared
Onomatopoeia flowed out everywhere
Pia had a real communication flair
Every little sigh was oh so epic
Every little gasp for air
Every little yawn a yawn beyond compare
Onomato Pia’s gift was oh so rare
Pia had a real communication flair
‘Mato Pia from Roma, ‘Mato Pia from Rome
Had a head of angelic, angelic hair
Not a word of English, no one, nobody cared
Onomatopoeia flowed from, from everywhere
Onomatopoeia flowed from, from everywhere
Pia had a real communication flair
Pia had a real communication flair
Way back in Rome, she wowed them as well, not
One word Italian, she cast her spell with
Oohs and ahs, pregnant pause
Oohs and ahs, pregnant pause
Oohs and ahs, pregnant pause
Oohs and ahs, pregnant pause
Learning disorder or fantastic skill
I lean quite heavy on skill
I am not a doctor, but to these ol’ ears
She could make the David statue shed real tears
Onomato Pia came from Rome, had a head of angel hair
Couldn’t speak a word of English, no one cared
Onomatopoeia flowed out everywhere
Pia had a real communication flair
Pia had a real communication flair
‘Mato Pia from Roma, ‘Mato Pia from Rome
Had a head of angelic, angelic hair
Not a word of English, no one, nobody cared
Onomatopoeia flowed from, from everywhere
Onomatopoeia flowed from, from everywhere
Onomatopoeia flowed from, from everywhere

Somewhere down the road, Sparks on Broadway, The Musical, will be a hot ticket.

[@babettewitt3978]

Hello! I'm a huge fan of SPARKS too! Check their Musical "Annette " out! ! The Music and Plot is so beautiful, melodical, meanful, soulful, magical simply UNIQUE! !

[@Biffbop]

There is not a single song on this album that I'm not obsessed with.

[@Dagonhills]

A perfect marriage of lyrics and music.

[@skunkfunk4699]

YESSSSSS IVE BEEN WAITING!! this is literally the catchiest song in the album, i’ve probably listened to it 100+ times though out the year, it makes me happy :)

[@aqualyraofficial]

Oh my God, I love you guys. The lyrics, the vocals,.the songwriting, the arrangement, the keys. And the tuba! ❤❤😂

[@richstrafford2429]

Agree and the lyrics are so clever.

[@SirDidymus_]

Fantastic song. So catchy. Witty and clever lyrics. A real masterclass in how to make a great tune! Sparks are the masters!

[@lemuelkrause3029]

My favourite song from the album

[@mollyj6286]

GOD I LOVE THIS SONG. The whole album is one of the best of their discography.

[@Bruce_Dickinson]

It's simply not possible to feel down when listening to this ... pure magic 😘

[@bayleybailey34]

Ever since this town man, what a life you guys! San Fernando Valley boy here laugh out loud

[@girlfromgermany]

Ha, great! Just today I watched the video of Russell's refrigerator magnets again (2 times) and now this! Thank you and see you tonight! Can't wait! Actually it will be in the morning at 04:30 am here 😄 I'm so much looking forward to it!

[@edwardthorne9875]

So glad that these gents are still so wonderful after all these years.

[@annabackman3028]

This album is all through GREAT! Thanks A LOT for putting up lyric videos, hugely appreciated 😘

[@PaphosLife]

This is utterly brilliant.

[@NoH8NoH8USA]

I adore ❤️ this 😍 cd ❤️

[@pellelindbergh7483]

What a happy song.

[@johnwalsh128]

I love this song. It would be great to have a lyric video for every sparks song ever made.

[@girlfromgermany]

Well, then they wouldn't be able to make new albums 😄

[@annabackman3028]

I think it could be possible to somebody else than Ron and Russell Russell to do that. The lyrics are already written 😉😃

[@girlfromgermany]

@@annabackman3028 Then the question would be: who pays him or her? I can imagine that this wouldn't be cheap.

[@annabackman3028]

@@girlfromgermany, A good question, and I have no answer.

[@annabackman3028]

@@girlfromgermany, An easier, faster and less expensive way to make the lyrics available is put them in the info field. Copy ➡️ paste. Shouldn't be so time consuming, not even typing every lyrics, at least not as creating new videos for around 300 songs! 😂! It's not sure they even have all lyrics digitally, they seem to keep some older things on old fashion paper. Hopefully digitally as well, copied and well kept, especially all released demos, and even better; ALL songs, what a treasure!! I would LOVE to dive into that 🤩🤩🤩😍🥰!! 😃😃😃! Ok, here adhd is leading my brain ahead 😂😂!

[@madamzajj980]

Super charming ❤

[@QAZ-OMEN]

Dripping FANTASTIC

[@mikespurgeon3345]

Perfectly splendid

[@darrellminx5459]

Great song, harks back to the simpler times as like the late60s. This album is to me the top of 2020 especially when th you take into account Covid.

[@morningcoffeecat2271]

By far my favourite song from the album! Its so much fun and ridiculously catchy! This and Lawnmower are the best

[@jlsutton4819]

My favourite of the album, its very uplifting and Sparks sounding xx. 💖💖

[@Teknofobe]

Every time. And i reiterate. Every time i listen to this, i smile. 😁😁😁

[@frankfaber]

Very nice track!

[@w.urlitzer1869]

wonderfully sung.

[@bonuscreature]

“Pia” gets me every time.

[@GrampaGrizzle]

Proof Ron has writen a song about Everything!

[@SyntaxLore]

For Sparks fans who always wished they would record more songs like 1975's "Pineapple", here you go.

[@thetragicyouth]

- and echoes of It Aint 1918 too.

[@martinfitzgerald1605]

Sparks, simply amazing, probably nice chaps.🍻

[@Dietrich.kurdesang]

Great song, reminds me on funfair..., the trumpet is 👍

[@Emachine789]

Wonderful

[@LucasMacdonald]

I love this song.

[@amyscott9496]

I love you guys

[@victoriathomas315]

This song really needs to be in the new series of Good Omens.....

[@bigguys45s29]

Cool tune.

[@nykkistenger5759]

I hear a bit of McCartney whimsy in this. Very catchy. Should be played on carousels nationwide. :-)

[@robertczagowiec9133]

Geniusz

[@workingtoseethelight8244]

I just saw you guys' movie, great story, everyone should go check it out!

[@bandcouver]

This song could be in a musical somewhere.

[@thetragicyouth]

Remind anyone else of Indiscreet-era Sparks?

[@madamzajj980]

Looks, looks, looks 😊

[@jantuijp]

...arguably their best album (no offence meant to all the other stellar albums). And yes, this has the same type of playful style and harmonies and brilliant arrangements that are equal parts extremely quirky and absurdly catchy. This one seems a bit more sophisticated though (at least to my untrained ear). Incredible song!!

[@csours]

Onomata Pia Said It Better Than Me

[@beybrain7896]

If Boing Boing had a theme song:

[@fizetineacxkernot5363]

Underated

[@십삼인아해]

NICEEEEEEEEEEE

[@Leahonomatopia]

Well, if this just isn't freaking catchy AF!

[@thescarecrowcat]

Also, this song is one long, catchy dad joke.

[@jantuijp]

I would not be suprised if this song is actually about a toddler from a foreign friend of the Maels. 😁

[@iwishiwerefun]

Where does Pia really come from? The films of Federico Fellini and the music of Nino Rota!

[@beybrain7896]

Pia is from Rome, obviously!

[@alsuziganshina6227]

!

[@thescarecrowcat]

I'm sorry...did we suddenly go Lewis Carroll in a ..Mark Twain sorta way?

[@gbernardwandel4174]

Currently 332 👍🏽and one dissenter Does anyone else feel sorry for that lonely nay-sayer other than I?

[@Emachine789]

Wonderful

[@Emachine789]

Such a good song
