LIFE IS A MINESTRONE
Album : Alive
(Lawrence Crème / Eric M. Stewart)

I'm dancing on the White House lawn 
Sipping tea by the Taj Mahal at dawn 
Hanging round 
The gardens of Babylon 
Minnie Mouse has got it all sewn up 
She gets more fan mail than the Pope 
She takes the mickey out of all my phobias 
Like signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia 
Life is a minestrone 
Served up with Parmesan cheese 
Death is a cold Lasagne 
Suspended in deep freeze 
I'm leaning on the Tower of Pisa 
Had an eyeful of the tower in France 
I'm hanging round 
The gardens of Madison 
And the seat of learning 
And the flush of success 
Relieves a constipated mind 
I'm like a gourmet 
In a skid row diner 
A fitting menu for a dilettante 
Life is a minestrone 
Served up with Parmesan cheese 
Death is a cold Lasagne 
Suspended in deep freeze 
Love is a fire of flaming brandy 
Upon a crepe suzette 
Let's get this romance cooking, honey 
But let us not forget 
Life is a minestrone 
Served up with Parmesan cheese 
Death is a cold Lasagne 
Suspended in deep freeze
