Lyrics
Mama wanted me to marry a girl
Preferably, from the old world
I found such a jewel, enchanting was she
But she's not Polish, she's from Italy
With loving eyes and flowing hair
She lends my life Italian flair
She's my wife, I'm her devoted
But she makes a Pitiful Pierogi
Pitiful Pierogi, Pitiful Pierogi
What a waste of wonderful dough
Pitiful Pierogi, Pitiful Pierogi
Pierogis don't - - have tomato
My darling's al fresca is simply divine
Her puttanesca, her bread and the wine
The magic derived from her cacciatore
Only arrived to half of the story
How can I tell her so
It's just cheese, potato and dough
She's my wife, I love her dearly
But her pierogies come out, oh, so queerly
Pitiful Pierogi, Pitiful Pierogi
What a waste of wonderful dough
Pitiful Pierogi, Pitiful Pierogi
Pierogis don't - - have tomato
Pitiful Pierogi, Pitiful Pierogi
What a waste of wonderful dough
Pitiful Pierogi, Pitiful Pierogi
Pierogis don't - - have tomato
