Bob and Louise Decormier - The Scissors Grinder Lyrics
Verse 1:Che gira, che te gira! My grindstone keeps on turningBut tell me what I'm earning for working here today.I know you have no lira, but bring your scissors to meToday you may have nothing, tomorrow you can pay!Che gira, che te gira! The scissors grinder passesand all the lads and lasses come running out to play“Tralalalala lira!” they sing and follow afterAnd when he turns the corner, they still can hear him say:Che gira, che te gira! My grindstone keeps on turningBut tell me what I'm earning for working here today.I know you have no lira, but bring your scissors to meToday you may have nothing, tomorrow you can pay!(“Che gira, che te gira! Ha ha! Che gira, che te gira! Che gira, che te gira!”)Che gira, che te gira! The scissors grinder passesand all the lads and lasses come running out to play“Tralalalala lira!” they sing and follow afterAnd when he turns the corner, they still can hear him say:Che gira, che te gira! My grindstone keeps on turningBut tell me what I'm earning for working here today.I know you (we) have no lira, but bring your scissors to meToday you may have nothing, tomorrow you can pay!(“Che gira, che te gira! Ha ha! Che gira, che te gira! Hey! Che gira, che te gira! Hey!”)
