La Gioia
(Lyrics by Brady & Bridget Rymer)
The lizard bit my finger
As I was reaching for a juicy plum
The smell of jasmine lingers
Caravaggio paints the pain of love
We’ve got the OG’s
And the Secondis
And now the Dolcis
Everybody sing it with me
La Gioia!
Well, my right hand’s on my left arm
Bronzino’s got me upside down
I got the honeycomb in my fingers
Cupid’s never gonna steal my crown
Gabriella
Her handsome fella (Mario)
E Molto Bella
Lookin’ like movie stars
La Gioia!
We marveled at the master drawings
Done in silverpoint and charcoal black
And when that Rembrandt gave her shivers
Stacy’s dress went front to back!
We welcomed Sally
And here comes Ali
And now there’s Nellie
Look at us multiplyin’!
La Gioia!
“There’s a warm worm in my yogurt!”
That was Henry’s expert tip
You lose the R’s and the O’s an Uh
Now you’re speaking like a proper Brit!
We saw the codpiece
Had an Indian feast
We savored Mincemeat!
Yeah, we’re rompin’ in the wild West End
La Gioia!
She was exiled to an island
With the god of love and wine
Her crown thrown to the heavens
Made all the stars that shine
We did Firenze!
And bella Roma
And now Londra!
Where we gonna pop up next?
La Gioia!
Well, Mama drank too much vino
Roses cast before the swine
Oh, the effects of intemperance
But Daddy don’t seem to mind
We got the White Russians
By the dozens
We’re all cousins
Says Jacques and 23 and Me!
La Gioia!
He come a’riding on a big white charger
In a glorious gold red hat
Yeah, the horse could be a little bit larger
But Uccello wasn’t going for that!
We thank the MDs
And a little alchemy
We survived the taxis
No, nothing’s gonna slow us down
La Gioia!
A rainy night in lit-up London
Cruisin’ down the river Thames
Sharing wine and gin and tonics
With our classmated form Firenze
During “La Bamba”
We did the Samba
It could have been the Rhumba (who cares!)
Everybody’s on the ol’ dance floor!
La Gioia!
When Father Time draws back the curtain
And all this folly is through
One thing we’re gonna know for certain
Is we were lucky just to be with you
With a golden crown upon her head
Tiaras for her maids
And for the loyal ones who love her
Her spell on them remains
We’ve got the OG’s
And the Secondis
And now the Dolcis
Everybody sing it with me!
La Gioia!
La Gioia!
La Gioia!
