Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I cannot wait to try the food here

The reviews have been incredible

Okay, What's good?

Ah, I've heard good things about the Proshute

Um, also the Caprese

Also the Mozzarella sticks

Uh, and the Bruschetta!

Uh, and the garlic bread.

Do you mean Bruschetta?

Yeah, Bruschetta.

Why are you saying it that way?

That's how it's supposed to be pronounced.

People like it when you embrace their cultures, it's very respectful.

Oh! they have Linguine!

Okay. Talking to you is embarrassing and I wanna change the subject.

Have you guys eaten in this neighborhood before?

Actually, right next door, there's an amazing Spanish restaurant

They do the best Tapas and Gazpacho.

You mean Tapas and Gazpacho.

Yeah, that's what I said: Tapas and Gazpacho.

That is NOT what you said!

And one block down there's a Sushi restaurant that you have to try.

That is racist.

It's not racist!

Look if anything, it's less racist

I'm not imposing my Anglicized pronunciation on these foreign words

Like some sort of linguistic Conquistador.

Okay, I think I'll hide in the bathroom for the rest of the night.

No! Adam c'mon! I had a great night planned

We're gonna get dinner

Then we're gonna go get some Strudel

Then we would go to the pub

And I'll buy you Vodka shots

And then we will go get Strudel.

You already said Strudel.

Did I? Hmm, Deja-Vu!

Then we go do some Karaoke

Pat, I know you do an amazing edition of Nirvana's rape me.

Nirvana is an American band!

But it's a Hindi word!

Asshole!

I can't do this. I need to leave.

No! Adam, c'mon, at least stay for coffee

The traffic is so bad in Los Angeles

We can go to the Starbucks next door, alright?

We can get some Frappuccinos, or some Cappuccinos

Or a Croissant.

Croissant.

Croissant.

Croissant!

Croissant.

Croissant!!

I wanna hit him! Can I hit him?

Trapp, you sound like a horrible person right now.

I'm sorry

Mea culpa

I guess I committed a huge Faux-pas

I don't know if the fung shui here is off or something

But you all are getting really angry with me

so why wouldn't we call it a "?"

And we'll all have a little Bow Wow

And then we can call an Uber

Offending you was never my Goaaaaaal

We're... Not ready to order yet.

Several of our guests have requested that you leave.

Mama Mia!
