[paladen1000]

The song reminds me of my childhood when my mother made homemade macaroni and used the bed sheets to dry the macaroni. I can remember my mother signing this and other songs to me.

[CarlDuke]

The great Lou Monte.  This song actually made the charts in the 1950s.

[thebirdmaner]

[METSSUCKRSOX2]

3 people got a lazy mary

[RobertoBeretta148]

I miss listening to Lou on holidays & birthdays when the whole family would be together. It sure brings back lots of memories! Lou's the best!

[jackb41]

I was born and raised in South Philadephia. I may be of Irish descent, but where U lived there were none. My only friends and neighbors were either Italian os of italian descent. I was 15 years old before I found out I was not Italian.

[suzimaree]

Yes I remember this song at weddings, and I'm not even Italian.

[HerrKatzenvater]

I love it! It always amazed me how cleaned up the English version is. So many of these old folk songs, and even children's rhymes are *very* suggestive.

[JettKuroi]

@HerrKatzenvater Quite suggestive, after all ... "Isse vai Isse venne" ... That is all. =P

[soul11223]

Bensonhurst the good old days

[plang527]

@soul11223 and Corona!

[hkuprobity2]

Does anyone know that Lou Monte sang a song called "Half A Love' back in 1958 which was very popular? Does anyone still have this record please?

[CurlyHairChris]

I thoroughly enjoyed this ! Thank you so much.

[djdavemick]

This is many years before my time, and I love this song.

[Fegen]

I never get tired of listening to Lou Monte. Always has been a favorite of mine.

[kenago1]

spaghetti e pizza ^ ^ italia...

[LMJessica]

I grew up listening to him! He still makes me laugh! :)

[positivelyyxtina]

This song brings back amazing memories of my Nonna, she'd pick us up and sing this when we were kids. Now she lives in Italy and I only see her every so often when I visit, but I love her and miss her....

[nicodemoscarfo]

I dedicate this one to my Sis for her Birth Day who turns 24 this day!

[HardcoreSixty]

7th inning stretch song at Mets games!

[2Peter116]

How great this is. I remember this stuff from the block in the summer. Best friends across the street were Italian, screen door open, sitting on the porch with Lou Monte, Louis Prima, Dean Martin and the like. Too cool. We wore out Peppino the Mouse. Man next best thing to a way back machine. Thanks for the post.

[waffeltje]

@2Peter116

You should play Mafia 2 :D

[hueyleader]

@2Peter116 ...Awsome memories.......

[Georgewos]

You better marry a fireman, He'll go and come, come and go. I thought it was only Louis Prima who sang the songs with double meaning.s

[Pedrooch]

The song is from the mid to late 1800's. But it's always been filled with double meanings. I always got a kick out of Lou Monte's (because his has some English in it) version song when i was a kid, because when he goes from the English back to Italian, u saw the Italians laugh and the ones that don't understand just wonder what everyone was laughing at.

[Pedrooch]

Wow!!! I haven't heard this version of Lazy Mary in years. My uncle was in the audience when he was singing this, and he recoded on a cassette. Too bad you don't have the ending, after everyone claps, Lou thanks everyone for liking classy songs or sophisticated songs, something like that, whatever he said was funny. I have the cassette recording, someplace, if I can find it I'll post it.

[12Fegens]

Thanks for sharing. Love Lou's version

of this.

[rikkideseeko]

Nice one KOWALSKI
