Twas the night before Christmas 12/24/2023

lyrics

Nonna come here I gotta talk to ya
Oh what is it Angelo
I'm not gunna be here for Christmas this year
No Angelo bambino why
I'm going away for a while
Oh no bambino
Mi dispiace
Here's a Christmas tale alla famiglia
But repeat just one word and I'll kill ya
Last Christmas I was doing collections
But now I've lost my only connection
Here's the story of a humble Sicilian
Who's new life is strictly civilian
Now to avoid the house of corrections
I'm stuck in this witness protection

Mama mia pizza pie
I'm an Italian Christmas guy
Got the braciole
Got the cannoli
Got a big bowl of zuppa di pesce
Hey
Mama mia pizza pie
I'm an Italian Christmas guy
Got the Braciole
Got the cannoli
Got a big bowl of zuppa di pesce

Hey Joe aren't those gifts supposed to go to the donation
Christ Milton can't a guy eat around here
I'm trying to take care of my family
So a few presents go missing
Let's keep this between us capisce
You got it Joe
Alright I knew we could be paisans
I wait in line for gifts like a shmuck
Christmas used to fall off the back of a truck
Now I was once a jolly goodfella
And the guys used to call me Angelo
Now the bake sale's the only place to find dough
But everybody here calls me Joe
Off bookies and debts I made my first million
Now I play dime hands with a guy named Milton

Mama mia pizza pie
I'm an Italian Christmas guy
Got the braciole
Got the cannoli
Got a big bowl of zuppa di pesce
Hey
Mama mia pizza pie
I'm an Italian Christmas guy
Got the Braciole
Got the cannoli
Got a big bowl of zuppa di pesce
Hey
Mama mia pizza pie
I'm an Italian Christmas guy
Got the braciole
Got the cannoli
Got a big bowl of zuppa di pesce
Hey
Mama mia pizza pie
I'm an Italian Christmas guy
Got the Braciole
Got the cannoli
Got a big bowl of zuppa di pesce

Hey Joe what's the best Christmas gift you've ever given someone
Oh a few years back I gave Jonny ace a pair of cement boots and a boat ride
