Senti st'antra A Ssan Pietro e MarcellinoA
Ce stanno certe moniche befaneA
C'aveveno pe voto er contentinoA
De maggn ttutto quanto co le maneA

Vedi si una forchetta e un cucchiarinoA
Si un cortelluccio pe ttajacce er paneA
Abbi da offenne Iddio N'antro tantinoA
Leccaveno cor muso com'er caneA

Pio Ottavo per bona momoriaB
Che vedde una matina quer porcaroB
Je disse Madre e che v d sta storiaB
-
Sete state avvezzate ar monnezzaroB
Che voto un cazzo A dio p dasse groriaB
Puro co la forchetta e cor cucchiaroB

Listen to this one At San Pietro e Marcellino's churchD
There are such nasty nunsE
Who as a vow had the bad habitF
Of eating food using their bare handsG
-
Just imagine if a fork and a spoonA
A small knife for cutting breadH
Could be an offence to God They almostI
Licked the dish like dogsJ
-
But the late Pius the EighthK
Who one day saw that filthL
Told them Mother what does all this meanA
-
Have you been brought up in a dumpM
Damn that vow God can be praisedN
Although using a fork and a spoonA
