The Lyrics
OS is probably most familiar in its instrumental version. It really does have lyrics, and they're in English here and in Italian here. Multi-lingual Midi here. NOTE to Song Title Cop: I know that the correct OS title is "Love Theme From 'The Godfather' (Speak Softly, Love)", but that was a little too long for the space allotted for titles.
Shriek softly, love; climactic screaming, do not start
Your shouts of joy could sometimes make the Billboard Chart
Out in the world
We're not alone
Methinks thee rightly, slightly, Mate, mete might mute moan
Wine-colored haze
Out in the sun
Got bored inside
Outside's more fun
Shriek softly, love, so no one hears impassioned cry
Dear, as you shake and quake, just make a quiet sigh
Locked in embrace
In public place
In view of thirty thousand browsing passers-by
(Interlude played by high school marching band leading parade passing by)
On courthouse steps
We're getting poon
Look at that clock
Nearing High Noon [1]
Shriek softly, love, no sound effects of Spanish fly
A crowd is congregating rapidly nearby
Reporters, live
From Channel Five
You'll come into their world tonight; Not soft e-... -nough!
[1] Double reference: a) Classic compliment about a woman's beauty: "I'd do her on the steps of the County Courthouse at high noon", and b) To the song "High Noon" (Frankie Laine), title theme from the 1952 movie. Last two lines of this verse pay homage to that song; last line is a verbatim copy of a line from it.

Just make sure you wear protection, and I don't mean your shell! (Yes, there are still turtle-shell jokes that haven't been used.)
especially like the bit about her shouts making the billboard charts
Great word play, and I appreciated the link to 'spanish fly'... green beetle, eh? 5's
Beautifully constructed almost-porn 5's
TT - I FINALLY got a look at your website, which was unavailable to me until today. I guess you like fuzzy little fake turtles rather than a picture of the real thing which I frankly went to a lot of trouble to provide. > : (
Have heard of the exhibition fetish of having sex in a pubic (pun intended)place...but, never tried it myself..or (with somebody) not a member of that smile sly club..but parody here, is very humorous...see I learned how to spell humor us, now
I'm gonna make you 555 offers you can't refuse
Great parody, Tommy. One of my best friends in high school dated a girl who would OPEN her blinds in her bedroom so the neighbors could watch...this brought back memories of that....vivedly. High Noon 5's
great stuff TT - for some reason "A crowd is congregating rapidly nearby" slayed me with its beautiful pacing - 555
Well written, 5s

Stuart McArthur, thanks ... :) ... Larry Hensley, thanks!
Adagio, what's this "fake" business??? You sent me a very nice pic of "Crush, the Turtle" from "Finding Nemo", but the pics at TT website ARE the REAL Tommy Turtle!! He is wounded at your remarks :-(

I've got a few stories about this, which all ended up horribly embarassing for me, so I'll spare the details. Quietly giving you 5s.
What a tease! Details, please... we love "embarassing" here. (It contains the words, "bare-ass", almost.) Until then, thanks... :)
Great parody..
very cheeky Sir . . . It can be great to be "Live On Five", as they say! At least your mate is quite ladylike in her exclamations . . .
Larry and UnKnown VO: Thanks for the votes and comments. Sorry I missed them!
