I'm really in a big stew over which stew to choose
Irish, Meatball, Beef or I pulsate down to my shoes
Whimper and squirm
Messes my perm
Was told it goes really good with a bunch of booze...

We worship the meatball-breasted
Slug-eyed One 
Who is fragrant with tomato sauce
Who nourishes us well
Liberates us from hunger 
For the sake of full bellies
Even while the cucumbers 
Ferment in the refrigerator....

We will keep trying until you get it right.

Just say “Mama mia, atsa spicy meatball”.
Follow the procedure and say it.  That’s all!
Jack, are you getting acid indigestion?
If you are, may I make a suggestion?
Just take two of these, and you’ll feel better fast.
You must get it right.  How long can this last?

Based on an Alka-Seltzer commercial of yesteryear.
