Donizetti Spaghetti
alla famiglia
I like to listen to Donizetti
Especially when I twirl spaghetti
Marinara cara I would like to
Have Donizetti spaghetti and you
With plenty of wine then we would be fine
And we could keep each other company
When though it hurts to be at least we are
Up the stair with you there where I should be
When Donizetti is just the thing for
Wining and dining a diva divine
For whom all the way should never be far
Spaghetti di Lammermoor and then more
Than before up the stair behind the door
Up to get down there with a friend of mine
So though ironic my macaronic
Doggerel of Donizetti like this
Is less about spaghetti than a kiss
Describing the features of creatures who
Seeking each other find us like we do
When though it hurts to be at least we are
With Donizetti spaghetti for two
Chi parla bene canta bene say
Oodles of bel canto come stay the day
Sfogave con le stelle like a star
Noodles al dente enough anyway
Like Donizetti to twirl spaghetti
Marinara cara I would like to
Have Donizetti spaghetti with you
