Pass the Pasta!
I like cheese, I like peas
I’d like a little more chocolate please
But I like more than all of these
PASTA!
I like pasta with pesto
Tagliatelle with sauce
Rigatoni with chicken
Spaghetti Bolognese of course
Tortellini with spinach
Ravioli with veg
Tonight? Please say yes, mum?
C’mon! you’re a ledge!
Though I like egg and chips, beans on toast is OKAY
And I quite like a burger, I just have to say
I’m not bothered by pizza, you can keep KFC
’Coz the best of all options is:
Pasta for tea!
I’d like a little more chocolate please
But I like more than all of these
PASTA!
I like pasta with pesto
Tagliatelle with sauce
Rigatoni with chicken
Spaghetti Bolognese of course
Tortellini with spinach
Ravioli with veg
Tonight? Please say yes, mum?
C’mon! you’re a ledge!
Though I like egg and chips, beans on toast is OKAY
And I quite like a burger, I just have to say
I’m not bothered by pizza, you can keep KFC
’Coz the best of all options is:
Pasta for tea!
