LA LUNA MEZZO 'O MARE AND THE MOON IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA: OH MY MOTHER I MUST GET MARRIED -- OH MY DAUGHTER WHO WILL WE GET? MY MOTHER I LEAVE IT UP TO YOU. IF I GET YOU THE BUTCHER HE WILL COME AND HE WILL GO, BUT HE'LL ALWAYS HOLD THE SAUSAGE IN HIS HANDS... IF HE GETS A BRIGHT IDEA HE'LL SAUSAGE YOU OH MY DAUGHTER. IF I GET YOU THE FISHERMAN HE WILL COME AND HE WILL GO, BUT HE'LL ALWAYS HOLD THE FISH IN HIS HANDS... IF HE GETS A BRIGHT IDEA HE'LL FISH YOU OH MY DAUGHTER.
This was one song my mom used to sing in front of the open kitchen window while she was cooking or washing dishes in our home in Brooklyn when I was a kid. The whole neighborhood would hear her, and you usually could hear applause and complimentary words coming from our neighbors when she finished. Those were happy times. I miss her.
@LionontheLake Doin OK, paisan. I was raised on West 5th St and Ave V with my 4 brothers. Avenues U and X was were I was most familiar for getting my Italian / Sicilian delicacies. Later on, my first apartment was on 82nd St between 15th & 16th Aves, the 2nd one on Bay Ridge Ave (69th St) between New Utrecht & 16th Aves before I escaped from NY. Yet my heart is still in Brooklyn, my home town, and New York in general. I try to get back as often as I can. Ciao!
@IAintOverYet my mom does the same not in italian (since we're not italian lol) but looking at your comment makes me appreciate my mother so much more
@XabbagatorX LMFAO it is filthy a real work of art,no? The daughter wants to get married and mamma's worried about who's going to.... omg its too cool 8D

IF I GET YOU THE SHOEMAKER
HE WILL COME AND HE WILL GO,
BUT HE'LL ALWAYS HOLD THE SHOE IN HIS HANDS...
IF HE GETS A BRIGHT IDEA
HE'LL SHOE YOU OH MY DAUGHTER.
IF I GET YOU THE GARDEN MAN
HE WILL COME AND HE WILL GO,
BUT HE'LL ALWAYS HOLD THE CUCUMBER IN HIS HANDS...
IF HE GETS A BRIGHT IDEA
HE'LL CUCUMBER YOU OH MY DAUGHTER.

Sorry Ebon88 - I haven't played the game, so I'm unfamiliar with that version. This is the only version I have. Good luck in your search!
