for a good time call my friend Tony

if you want to have
a nice wedding,
or a great funeral, you have
to go Italian.
they know what they're doing
when it comes
to those events.
if you want a good time,
you have to rent
a hall
and have all your Italian
relatives and friends
involved.
singing, dancing, drinking,
eating.
it's a wild fun time,
and same goes for the funeral.
Catholics know
what they're doing when
it comes to death.
they've got that down.
the smoke and mirrors,
everyone in black,
aunt Delores with her lasagna.
the candles burning, the priest.
and altar boys.
a few words in Latin.
the whole shebang,
a major production as they
show you the way out,
you'll get a lot of hysterical.
crying too,
as they carry you down 
cemetery road.
