(I woke up) late ‘cause I went to sleep (late last night)
Can you guess what I dreamed? (visions of you, real they seemed)
It’s true I (needed you) yeah, that’s right (by my side)
That was hard, but (now with you in my life) there you are!
(I’m in love)
Gucci specs, sweaty necks, Adilettes
Can you picture us?
White dress, lemon trees, theatres
Isn’t it picturesque?
(I’m in love)
We’re in the mood for some food
Order a two course
And a bottle of wine (bottle of wine)
Just feelin’ fine
I’m in love with with with with with with with the summertime
In the bus from the airport to the city
It’s in the night, still the air’s hot visibly
You look outside, turn around, then you’re kissing me
Ha! Yeah, welcome to Sicily
Welcome to our apartment in Palermo, it’s hot in there
There’s not even an airco, we’re in underwear
On the ceiling there’s a fan, but god damn
It really does nothing, and we broke the string
On the first night
And we fixed that, but it simply doesn’t work right
Much sweat, in bed like two radiators
On the iPad watching Gladiator
Good night (see ya later)
Wearing an oversized shirt and a miniskirt (oef)
Let’s have breakfast (yes), kiss you on the neck first
We can see a pizzeria through a hole in the wall
Per mangiare peep the Mercato Ballaro stalls
All about the food, that’s the motto (yeah)
We’re in Italy, didn’t even eat a risotto (damn)
Hit the market, buy some onions and tomatoes
Then we want the same thing: Brioche Con Gelato
Drink the Grillo with the swordfish
(oh wow, that’s ridiculous, that’s bad-ass man
That’s fucking ridiculous, wow, yo oh my god
What a great combination man, that’s amazing
Oh god)
(yeah yeah yeah yeah check it)
(I’m in love)
Gucci specs, sweaty necks, Adilettes
Can you picture us?
White dress, lemon trees, theatres
Isn’t it picturesque?
(I’m in love)
We’re in the mood for some food
Order a two course
And a bottle of wine (bottle of wine)
Just feelin’ fine
I’m in love with with with with with with with the summertime
Ain’t no doubt about the way we vibe
(and there ain’t no doubt about it)
And it feels like a dream that we’re living inside, that goes
Cannoli, granita, Panelle, pizza
Panini and arancini di riso
(there just) Ain’t no doubt about the way I feel
It’s a June afternoon and we’re having a meal
Peel the top off the can of Pellegrino
Ask us what we see
a whole bunch of people sipping cappuccinos
collars up to Dio
gotta go past the store, get the GF some more vino
watching the GF, I’m loving Al Pacino
yo, it’s forty degrees out here buddy
mane please, even in the breeze I’ll be sweaty
but we’re hungry, so we’re gon’ be ready
to go out, get some food
hey, there’s another wedding
yo, you know that
All about the food is the motto (mm)
We’re in Italy, didn’t even eat a risotto
Hit the market, buy some onions and tomatoes
Then we want the same thing: Brioche Con Gelato
Drink the Grillo with the swordfish
Bente’s plate b- ah yoo
(I said I was going to try to protect people’s private information, there you are
so you got someone’s name, hopefully I’ve not accidentally revealed, uh
personal information about someone, well I have, I hope it’s okay, anyway, so)
(I’m in love)
Gucci specs, sweaty necks, Adilettes

White dress, lemon trees, theatres
Isn’t it picturesque?
(I’m in love)
We’re in the mood for some food
Order a two course
And a bottle of wine (bottle of wine)
Just feelin’ fine (yeah can I have some uhmm)
I’m in love with with with with with with with the summertime
We’re not sure what we ordered on the side
But the main course is spaghetti
It turns out to be fries, and we’re drinking Moretti
I look her deep in her eyes
As Bente says “it’s really al dente”
My gaze shifts to her plate, man I’m hoping she’ll let me
You get me? I’m a big boy I gotta keep the engine running
Just like right now, I’m gonna go down and eat sumn
Just to keep the raps coming
I’m back, matter fact
All about the food that’s the motto (you know)
We’re in Italy, didn’t even eat a risotto (oh no)
Hit the market, buy some onions and tomatoes
Then we want the same thing: Brioche Con Gelato
Drink the Grillo with the swordfish
Bente’s plate boasts what? Even more fish
Caponata with the horse steak
Horse steak sandwiches to vanish is a sure fate
Carpe diem went to the museum
Saw the mummies at the mausoleum
Got some squid at the market
Back to the apartment, it’s so tiny she ca- yoo
I said, Carpe diem went to the museum
Saw the mummies at the mausoleum
Got some squid at the market
Back to the apartment, it’s so tiny she can see me when I’m peeing
