Al Stewart - Mondo Sinistro Lyrics






take my troubles on a Friday night
To the heart of the bistro
Among the shadows and the low low lights
I can find a release-o

My favorite waitress will be here tonight
I love the way she wears those fish-net tights
She's so hard to resist-o
in this Mondo Sinistro

She picks a menu up and throws it my way
With a flick of her wrist-o
I'm sitting hoping that the night might take
A romantic twist-o

I order chicken and a chilled chablis
She brings me grapefruit and a cup of tea
She's a little Mephisto
In this Mondo Sinistro

I say I really love her dark brown eyes
And the way that they tease-o
I tell her everytime she passes by
I grow weak in the knees-o

I ask her would she like to come and play
She blows my candle out and walks away
I just cease to exist-o
In this Mondo Sinistro

  1. D.... R....

    Hahahaha great to see Al doing music video:s, can't express how great this guy is, ah I can man, he's a genius!!!

  2. T.... D....

    Whoodathunkit?? Probably the most cerebral artist out there with a comedic break and a clever song/vid!

  3. M.... M....

    Elvira!... also, this song is so bad it hurts.

  4. V.... H....

    Loving the white loafers!

  5. B.... N....

    When ever one had to make a video even if it was a bad idea.

  6. K.... K....

    What a weird, fun rocker. One of my favorites from 24 Carrots.

  7. P.... A....

    Sorry Al, that was terrible. Not your best period.

  8. S.... M....

    The waitress: isn't she actress Cassandra Peterson ("Elvira")?

    S.... M....

    It certainly looks like her.

    S.... M....

    It absolutely is.

  9. a.... a....

    Esta buena canción la compuso ALL STEWART y la canto y la publico en el año 1980

  10. M.... ....

    The waitress is famous O.C. girl Cassandra Peterson (AKA Elvira).  What a great match-up to have Al and Elvira in the same video!

  11. R.... ....

    Haaaaaaa! That's Elvira!

  12. M.... G....

    I like a fun, silly song every now and then as much as anyone, but it puzzles me that THIS track was chosen to be released as the second or third single from this album (after "Midnight Rocks" which was an obvious candidate, and possibly after "Paint by Numbers"). It puzzles me even more to think that it was chosen over "Running Man" which would certainly have been my first choice, and seems much more likely to have been a hit.

  13. J.... C....

    Trivia, the waitress in this video is on a famous album cover - which one?

  14. R.... D....

    Simply brilliant!

    R.... D....

    +Rafael Deustua like paperlaid... oh sorry ^^

  15. M.... H....

    "Mondo Sinistro" was such an obvious style-parody of The Cars. (Candy-O rhymes with every line.)

    M.... H....

    +M. Hall ive made a habit of hearin oud recycled genesis shtuff -.-
    taff ^ ^

    M.... H....

    +jutubaeh biggest band . . ?

    M.... H....

    +jutubaeh shall we call em 57 cause theyre so... damn good ? in contrast 245 ?

    M.... H....

    +jutubaeh in addition -.-?

    M.... H....

    ......something MUCH more obvious to THESE ears - let's just SAY I wouldn't be SURPRISED of her had a certain kind of TALK with Philo 2-3 years LATER about just WHAT kind of 'angel' ACTUALLY whispered into HIS.....

  16. E.... A....

    Thumbs up, but only for Elvira.

  17. G.... F....

    Gotta love that song. Al should have done some acting besides his music career!

  18. s.... ....

    That poor waitress.  She is clumsy but lovable.  I could see her and Al as a couple.

    s.... ....

    @sandinyourshoes The waitress is Cassandra Peterson, better known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

    s.... ....

    @Robert Rowe, I had no idea. Goodness, I just didn't recognize her without her costume and makeup as the enchanting Elvira. What a beautiful girl!

  19. E.... D....

    No le doy DISLIKE porque el youtuber quizás no lo merezca... La canción es muy mala para lo que esperaba de Al Stewart. De todos modos: Gracias al YouTuber por subir este vídeo

  20. t.... ....

    Sounds great through stereo headphones . And the waitress looks good with her own stereo apparatus! Thanks for uploading -- I hadn't seen this before, either.

  21. s.... ....

    Al and the boys really cook on this rocker! Check out those loud guitars! What a great way to launch his career into the glorious 1980s!

  22. J.... P....

    It was always nice to see Al rock out sometimes,and this may be the best time.

  23. W.... ....

    When this song was played on Toppop (the Dutch version of Top of the Pops) I was only 9 years old... I've never seen this clip in full colour!

  24. N.... S....

    That was clumsy but cool Al.

  25. N.... S....

    great song

  26. S.... S....

    wow, so perfectly captures the zaniness of the song

  27. s.... ....

    Never seen this before! Go Al!
