What's made of dough and tomato sauce
and lots and lots of cheese?
Onions, green peppers, mushrooms
and olives and sometimes all of these.
They roll the dough out flat, then toss it in the air,
It's almost always round, but sometimes it's a square.

    It's a pizza, it's a pizza
    Mama mia pizza pie
    It's a pizza, it's a pizza
    Mama mia pizza pie

It's no tortilla, ai caramba, or a wiener schnitzel, ja.
Nor baklava, eureka! or a croissant, ooh la la.
It doesn't go with champagne, you have it with a Coke.
Not fancy schmancy, oi gevalt, but you won't wind up broke.

When Mom has had a long day and says she's feelin' beat
When Dad is sick and tired of cooking and wants to go out to eat
Do we go for burgers, or that place that serves buffet?
Or do we say "let's have the same thing we had yesterday".
