Pasta

There's linguine, rigatoni, fettuccine, cannelloni
I will master every pasta till it's right
Tagliatelle, lumaconi, vermicelli, macaroni
For the cognoscenti there is plenty every night

Just add a little chilli and you'll grow to love fusilli
and the days fly by
There isn't time for buddies when you're buried in your studies
And i'll grow to love the teaching and the kids I hope I'm reaching
And the days fly by
And you play me Donizetti, while I savour your spaghetti
And the weeks fly by
And though nothing's very funny when you haven't any money
When you know that you're investng in your future there's no resting
And the weeks fly by

There's linguine, rigatoni, fettuccine, cannelloni
We will master every pasta till it's right
Tagliatelle, lumaconi, vermicelli, macaroni
For the cognoscenti there is plenty every night
And I focused on my course, feulled by balsamella sauce
And so everyday I taught learning love's the best support
But when you're always broke, it's hard to see the joke
But we knew that we'd survive if we kept our dreams alive

So we kept on keeping on
Kept on keeping
Working, sleeping
Laughing, weeping
We kept on keeping, keeping faith

When you can't afford the deli then you make your own gemelli
And the months fly by
And today is what you borrowed when you're working for tomorrow
And though sometimes disenchanted, we won't take our love for granted
And the months fly by
And life is molto bene when your pesto's mixed with penne
And a year flew by
And at least it kept us stable putting something on the table
Who cares about nutrition when you're driven by ambition
And the year flew by

And I focused on my course (so you focused on your course)
feulled by balsamella sauce (by my balsamella sauce)
And so everyday I taught knowing love's the best support
But when you're always broke (but when you're always broke)
it's hard to see the joke (it's more important that we joke)
But we knew that we'd survive if we kept our dreams alive

There's linguine, rigatoni, fettuccine, cannelloni
We will master every pasta till it's right
Tagliatelle, lumaconi, vermicelli, macaroni
For the cognoscenti there is plenty every night

And though it's sometimes rocky we are filled with love and gnocchi
And we never feel to lonely when we've shared a minestrone
It's the perfect way to celebrate the days
Bolognese!
