Life Is A Minestrone

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
