That’s a Moray!



If any of you have even a drop of Italian blood, are friends with and/or married to an Italian, then you are familiar with the original version of this song. Keep the melody of Dean Martin's song That's Amore in mind as you read these revised lyrics.

When the moon hits your eye

Like a big pizza pie

That's amore.

When an eel bites your hand

And that's not what you planned

That's a moray.

When our habits are strange

And our customs deranged

That's our mores.

When your horse munches straw

And the bales total four

That's some more hay.

When a Japanese knight

Waves his sword in a fight

That's Samurai.

When Othello's poor wife

She gets strangled in strife

That's a Moor, eh?

When your sheep go to graze

In a damp marshy place

That's a moor, eh?

When your boat comes home fine

And you tied up her line

That's a moor, eh?

When you ace your last tests

Like you did all the rest

That's some more A's!

When on Mt. Cook you see

an aborigine

That's a Maori.

A comedian-ham

With the name Amsterdam

That's a Morey.

When your chocolate graham

Is so full and so crammed

That's a s'more.

When you've had quite enough

Of this dumb rhyming stuff

That's No more! eh?
