Lyrics
Oh, Nana cooked pasta and Nana broiled steak,
Made Easter pasteira and Christmas fruit cake
Nana grew parsley to go with gniocchi
Nana loved family and Nana loved me.
Nana had nicknames for all of us kids
could yell, ?Caccadona!? when she blew her lid.
Firecracker, cowboy and Danish pastry
Nana loved family and Nana loved me.
CHORUS: Nana, Nana, we want you to know
Nana, Nana, we all miss you so!
Nana gave counsel that never would fail.
?You girls must wear lipstick!? and ?Cut your toenails!?
And if you lose something, just ask Anthony?
Nana loved family and Nana loved me.
Now she?s in heaven with Jesus and Pop
She can?t go to market; she can?t check her stocks
But if God let her worry, she?d worry because
Nana loved family and Nana loved us.
Nana loved family and Nana loved us. CHORUS
Oh Nana cooked pasta and Nana broiled steak
Made Easter Pasteira and Christmas fruit cake
Nana grew parsley to go with gniocchi
Nana loved family and Nana loved me.
Nana loved family and Nana loved me.
Nana loved family and Nana loved me.
