Life Is A Minestrone

10CC - Life Is A Minestrone



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



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



(Repeat)



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

Mini, mini, mini, minestrone

Mini, mini, mini, minestrone

Mini, mini, mini, minestrone

Mini, mini, mini, minestrone....
