You'd Have to 10CC It to Believe It

I think you'll enjoy these lyrics for the song "Life Is a Minestrone" by 10CC:

"Im 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

Im leaning on the tower of pisa/Had an eyeful of the tower in france
Im hanging round the gardens of madison/And the seat of learning
And the flush of success/Relieves a constipated mind
Im like a gourmet in a skid row diner/A fitting menu for a dilettante

chorus

Lets 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"

Yes, you musn't forget that.
