A little this

A little that

I just might even

Throw in your hat

Some nice fagiol

E porro, too

E melenzani just for you

Then we stir it with a stick

Until you see it get-a thick

And when the meat fall off the bone

That's when you know you got yourself some minestron

Oh. Mamma. I hope we eat-a soon

I want to eat it now

Even though it’s only noon

Oh. Mamma. I hope we eat-a soon

I want a big- a bowl

‘Cause I got-a big-a spoon

I want a big- a bowl

‘Cause I got-a big-a spoon

**vamp

If you want

To make it nice

Then you add-a just

A little spice

Some pepperon

E basilico

And some prosciutt

And there you go

Then we stir it with a stick

Until it starts to get-a thick

And when the meat fall off the bone

That's when you know you got some minestron

Oh. Mamma. I hope we eat-a soon

I want to eat it now

Even though it’s only noon

Oh. Mamma. I hope we eat-a soon

I want a big- a bowl

‘Cause I got-a big-a spoon

I want a big- a bowl

‘Cause I got-a big-a spoon

And then we go

to the garage

where we keep

the good formag

And we grate

a little bit

Right on top

And now, we sit

‘Cause we stirred it with a stick

And now you see, it’s nice and thick

So, come on-a over to my home

‘Cause we’re gonna have a bowl of minestron

So, come on-a over to my home

‘Cause we’re gonna have a bowl of minestron-to-night
