And just what is wrong with spending one's entire childhood at camp? It beats reform school, or at least the one which Joe Offer attended, and it provides one with a marvelous background in singing songs of which most people have never heard.

This HTMLedversion of Piccolomini might give you a better sense of its lyrical structure, although, alas, not its tune. Do I have to have a keyboard or something to make MIDI files? I'd gladly teach it to you if you were here -- we'd Piccolomini 'til the sun came up.

PICCOLOMINI

Piccolomini, piccolomini
Piccolomini, piccole!
Lomini piccolo
Mini piccolomini piccolomini pi!
Colomini piccolomini piccolo
Mini piccolomini.
