The Lyrics

I intend to record this one but, with help from some friends who have much higher voices than my baritone.
Yes, the little old lady loves pasta dinners…

The little old lady loves pasta dinners
(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)
Penne, ziti, fettuccine, she just stuffs it in her
(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)
Her son had to rush her into triage
When a meatball, in her throat, got itself lodged

And everybody’s noticed she ain’t gettin’ no thinner
‘Cause the little old lady loves pasta dinners
She eats real fast, got to have her carbs
And her friends, they all call her an old tub o’ lard

Yes, the little old lady loves pasta dinners…

While the other ladies meet for tea and knitting
(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)
She’ll pound two lasagnas down in just one sitting
(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)
She’ll be needin’ a new ticker, or defibrillator
‘Cause she can’t keep her face out the refrigerator!

I’m guessin’ she’s obsessin’ with that old semolina
Yeah the little old lady loves pasta dinners
The bills pile up on her diner’s card
(At) trattorias from Coronado to Oxnard

Yes, the little old lady loves pasta dinners…

(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)
(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)

Her meatballs must weigh about half a pound
Yeah, she’ll cook ‘em right up, then she’ll put ‘em down

And everybody’s noticed she ain’t gettin’ no thinner
‘Cause the little old lady loves pasta dinners
She gets bad gas, blames her St. Bernard
And her friends, they all call her an old tub o’ lard

Yes, the little old lady loves pasta dinners

(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)
(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)
(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)
(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)
(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)
(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)
(Go granny, more gravy, go granny go!)

Love it!! I enjoy pasta dinners too, especially since I'm Italian. Great parody, and great song selection. It was lots of fun to read, and I will give you a perfect 5-5-5. :)

Ya know what? This excellent serving of pasta would go real well with some Cappucinos! (Look up other parodies of this OS;-) ). Nice job here, I give it a Semolina Pasta No. 555

It's all good, but the "defibrillator/refrigerator" couplet and the Diner's Card line stood out for me.

well really Rick, what is the point of a Saint Bernard otherwise? very funny lines and would make a great film clip - 555
Rick C - November 28, 2007 - Report this comment
Thanks John, MrMacphisto and Stu. Yes Stu, a Saint Bernard is much too big to have around, unless you can put it to good use.

Mama Mia that Mama Mia sure liked her pasta dishes. I'm partial to Italian food myself though I have no idea why. Not like I wasn't raised on the stuff. I'm especially partial to gnocchi and any type of scallopini, and ooo yeah eggplant and light battered deep fried zucchini flowers. You actually need a garden for the flowers. No one sells them. They wilt within an hour of picking so they have to go from stem to deep frier faster than fresh lobster goes from tank to boiler. Now I have a 5 star appetite after reading the parody and commenting. Fine work here.
