[Verse:]
My mother was frightened by
A snoopy neighbor who poked his eye
Through mother's keyhole and that is why
I am what I am today
The man who looks through the keyholes along Broadway
My job is to be alert
And get the lowdown on all the dirt
The dirt that gathers on Broadway's skirt
For that's how I earn my pay
The man who looks through the keyholes along Broadway
[1st refrain:]
Would you like to take a look through a keyhole?
If you'd like to get the in on the latest bit of sin, have a look
Life is like an open book through a keyhole
If you wonder what occurs 'ere the lady gets her furs, have a look
Angry people who think they're tough
Start to threaten but that's a bluff
They may holler but they won't stuff up their keyhole
So come on and have a look through a keyhole
If you'd like to get a view, view of who is cheating who, have a look
[2nd refrain:]
So come on and have a look through a keyhole
If you want to see New York getting ready for the stork, have a look
Life is like an open book through a keyhole
If you want to get a load of the husband on the road, have a look
Lovely ladies of ev'ry kind
Think they're safe when they pull the blind
I see just what is on their mind through a keyhole
So come on and have a look through a keyhole
If you'd really like to know how she got into the show, have a look
Irving Berlin, pseudonimo di Izrail' Moiseevic Bejlin (1888-1989), è stato uno dei compositori americani più influenti del XX secolo. Nato a Temesvár, in Romania, da una famiglia ebrea, si trasferì negli Stati Uniti all'età di 5 anni. Iniziò la sua carriera come cantante e pianista nei locali di New York, scrivendo le sue prime canzoni mentre lavorava come cameriere. Nel 1911 ottenne il suo primo successo con "Alexander's Ragtime Band", che divenne un inno nazionale durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale. Berlin compose centinaia di canzoni, tra cui "White Christmas", "God Bless America" e "This Is a Lovely Day". Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da melodie orecchiabili, testi semplici ma efficaci e una profonda comprensione del gusto popolare americano. Berlin ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui l'Oscar alla carriera nel 1971. La sua musica continua ad essere eseguita e apprezzata in tutto il mondo.
