Lyrics & Translation

[English]

boys a grocery store in sanford just got

their turkey so i thought we'd all go

down and

why are you all dressed like european

hobos we're headed out to the piazza we

all caught the bocce bug

and i call the toga bug i'm 150 pin away

from nudity i love the thrill

that fake park thing is still going on

how is that more fun than spending time

with your

[Music]

carol mother scooping gelato play go

boys

no wait you can't go why because

it's racist against italians i guess

it's a little on the nose

no against us an asian family moves on

to the block and suddenly we need a

medium to solve our driving issues

wake up suddenly we moved here six years

ago

and to be fair we've had our share of

driving incidents

hey feels like a reach we dilute the

movement with stuff like that ma

oh my god meatball's playing ave maria

that's my jam

ciao bella mamma mia now that's racist

if you want to spend time with them then

just go out there

i want quality time with the boys not

watch carol joan eat gelato and say it's

not as good as it was on holiday

she was hammered the whole time of

course it was good you're trying too

hard

no wonder they prefer the medium it

smells like grass

not desperation you're right

i must destroy the median

you always take the wrong lesson

good morning orlando gus and maymay back

morning

to go to break but let's go to break

because i'd like to know
