|
I'm dancing on the White House lawn |
|
Sipping tea by the Taj Mahal at dawn |
|
Hanging round the gardens of Babylon |
|
Minnie Mouse has got it all sewn up |
|
She gets more fan mail than the Pope |
|
She takes the mickey out of all my phobias |
|
Like signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia |
|
Life is a minestrone |
|
Served up with parmesan cheese |
|
Death is a cold Lasagne |
|
Suspended in deep freeze |
|
I'm leaning on the Tower of Pisa |
|
Had an eyeful of the tower in France |
|
I'm hanging round the gardens of Madison |
|
And the seat of learning |
|
And the flush of success |
|
Relieves a constipated mind |
|
I'm like a gourmet in a skid row diner |
|
A fitting menu for a dilettante |
|
Life is a minestrone |
|
Served up with parmesan cheese |
|
Death is a cold Lasagne |
|
Suspended in deep freeze |
|
Love is a fire of flaming brandy |
|
Upon a crepe suzette |
|
Let's get this romance cooking, honey |
|
But let us not forget |
|
Life is a minestrone |
|
Served up with parmesan cheese |
|
Death is a cold Lasagne |
|
Suspended in deep freeze |
