Come Facette Mammeta
Renzo Arbore
How Mammeta Made You
When Mammeta made you
when Mammeta made you
you want to know how she did it
you want to know how she did it
to knead these beautiful meats
to knead these beautiful meats
all that she put in
one hundred roses in a cap
mixed in the mortar
milk and roses, roses and milk
she made you on top of the deed
there's no need for the gypsy
to guess
how Mammeta did it
I know better than you.
and to make this beautiful mouth
and to make this beautiful mouth
it doesn't take the same dose
it doesn't take the same dose
you want to know what she put in
you want to know what she put in
now I tell you everything
now I tell you everything
a basket full full
all the garden strawberries
apples, sugar, and cinnamon
she kneaded this beautiful mouth
there's no need for the gypsy
to guess
how Mammeta did it
I know better than you.
