Life is a Minestrone
I'm dancing on the White House lawnSipping tea by the Taj Mahal at dawnHanging round the gardens of BabylonMinnie Mouse has got it all sewn upShe gets more fan mail than the PopeShe takes the mickey out of all my phobiasLike signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia
Life is a minestroneServed up with parmesan cheeseDeath is a cold LasagneSuspended in deep freeze
I'm leaning on the Tower of PisaHad an eyeful of the tower in FranceI'm hanging round the gardens of Madison
And the seat of learningAnd the flush of successRelieves a constipated mindI'm like a gourmet in a skid row dinerA fitting menu for a dilettante
Life is a minestroneServed up with parmesan cheeseDeath is a cold LasagneSuspended in deep freezeLove is a fire of flaming brandyUpon a crepe suzetteLet's get this romance cooking, honeyBut let us not forget
Life is a minestroneServed up with parmesan cheeseDeath is a cold LasagneSuspended in deep freeze
