Chorus 1:

Past'a cheech, past'a cheech,
Eat a plate a past'a cheech.
Why you wanna eat a sangweech,
Eat a plate a past'a cheech.
Smell the breeze, if you please,
That's a parmesano cheese,
So, I beg a you and beseech,
Eat a plate a past'a cheech.
Mariana's in the kitch'
Cookin' up a hot sasitch;
All the kids-a gotta be fed,
Hurry up and slice the bread.
Uncle Tony's down the line,
He's a bringin' home the wine;
Angelina and her fella's
Gonna dance the tarantella.
Tune up-a the guitar,
Rich-a rich-a lariola.
Past'a cheech, past'a cheech,
Eat a plate a past'a cheech.
Tutti quande, tutti a meech,
Eat a plate a past'a cheech.
Nice and hot, from the pot,
Monja, monja, eat a lot.
So, I'm telling you capeesh,
Eat a plate a past'a cheech.

Eat a plate a past'a cheech.
Smell the breeze, if you please,
