Mama Mama Rosa (Where's The Spumoni?)
Composer(s): Tutti Camarata
Performer(s): Annette Funicello
A lovely senorina 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 sauces on a plate of spagatini
Half a dozen courses of her 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 desert!
