PIZZA
As recorded by Ruth Wallis

[1] I marry a nice-a handsome fella.
He don't care much for mozzarella.
He likes a little pizza ev'ry night.
He don't care for parmigian' or spaghetti,
Just want-a me to be always ready,
Give him a little pizza ev'ry night.
He give me a little kiss and then he hug-a me once or twice.
I give him a little pizza and he hollers: "'At's-a nice!"
My mama she always talk to me:
"A wife must always say: 'Si! Si!'
When her husband wants some pizza ev'ry night."

[PATTER] Look on-a me; I'm a mess, no?
I'm-a got-a no time to go to no beauty parlor.
I'm-a busy-busy-busy.
Got-a eight-a kids; just-a plain careless.

[2] I keep hollering: "Marrone!
Don't you want-a some macaron'?"
But no; he wants some pizza ev'ry night.
He say: "If you are too tired, signora,
I get it outside from my friend Leonora."
I got to give him pizza ev'ry night.
Not too fancy, not too plain, he makes it very clear:
"Just-a like you give-a to me before we got married, dear."
No mush-a-room, no pepperoni,
Just a good plain pizza, no baloney.
Got to give him pizza ev'ry night.

[PATTER] Hey, goombah! How you like-a me so far, eh?
You think I'm-a nuts, eh?
Don't-a be crazy; I'm-a no nuts,
But I'm-a married to some kind o' nuts-a.

[3] You got to be good, you got to be strong
To keep on a-cookin' all night long
When your husband wants a pizza ev'ry night.
He say to me: "Long as you got your youth,
A hair on your head, in your mouth a tooth,
You got to give me pizza ev'ry night."
I got to keep-a wide awake and keep-a my oven hot.
If I fall asleep he puts it in himself; thanks a lot!
So I give him pizza and lots o' vino.
'At's-a why we got so many bambino.
I just keep cooking ev'ry night.

[TAG] He act just like a Latin stallion,
And you know what? He ain't even Italian,
But mamma mia! He loves that pizza ev'ry night!
Arrivederci!
