A lovely signorina from old Italy
Came to our shores and raised a family
She learned from her mother that cooking was an art
And when you came to dinner
This is how her meal would start
She brought us...
Antipasta, minestrone
Linguine marinara
Pastacholi, gorgonzole
Squigini, bakalava
Ravioli, pizza roll
It really was a treat
Then she'd say
Mangia, Mangia
Eat, my children, eat!
Hey!
Mama, Mama Rosa
We love the way you look
Ma-ma-ma Mama, Mama Rosa
And we love the way you cook
Ma-ma-ma-ma Mama, Mama Rosa
We love your macaroni
But Mama Mama Rosa
Where's the spumoni?
Mangia, mangia, mangia, mangia!
But she brought...
Chicken cacciatore
And a dish of scallopini
Seven kinds of saucеs
On a plate of spagatini
Half a dozen courses
Of hеr home made sazich
Then she said
Mangia, mangia
Eat, my children, eat
Hey!
Mama, Mama Rosa
We love the way you look
Oh Mama, Mama Mama Rosa
And we love the way you cook
Ma-ma-ma-ma Mama, Mama Rosa
We love your macaroni
But Mama, Mama Rosa
Where's the spumoni?
Mangia, mangia, mangia, mangia!
But she brought...
Pears and peaches
Pomegranates
A slice of provolone
Fresh spinoki, artichokes
Rigata with pinole
Candy maraschino
With some chocolatino sweet
Then she said
Mangia, mangia
Eat, my children, eat
Hey!
Mama, Mama Rosa
Bring us our spumoni
Mama, Mama Rosa
We've had our macaroni
Mama, Mama Rosa
We've eaten till it hurts
Mama, Mama Rosa
Now bring us our dessert
