So ben mi c'ha bon tempo
 (Sung text for setting by O. Vecchi)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
So ben mi c'ha bon tempo, Fa la la.
 Al so ma basta mo'. Fa la la.

So ben ch'è favorito, Fa la la.
 Ahime! no'l posso dir. Fa la la.

Oh! s'io potessi dire, Fa la la.
 Chi va, chi sta, chi vien. Fa la la.

La ti darà martello, Fa la la.
 Per farti disperar. Fa la la.

Saluti e baciamani, Fa la la la...
 Son tutti indarno affè. Fa la la.

Non giova fare il Zanni, Fa la la.
 Andando su e giù. Fa la la.

Al può ben impiccarsi, Fa la la.
 Ch'al non farà nient. Fa la la.

Passeggia pur chi vuole, Fa la la.
 Ch'el tempo perderà. Fa la la.

O parli, o ridi, o piangi, Fa la la.
 Non troverai pietà. Fa la la.

Dice il proverbio antico, Fa la la.
 Chi ha fatto suo buon pro. Fa la la.

Composition:

    Set to music by Orazio Vecchi (1550 - 1605), "So ben mi c'ha bon tempo", 1590 [ SATB chorus ], from Selva di Varia Ricreazione, no. 2
