What If We Went To Italy

(Mary Chapin Carpenter) What if we went to Italy A suitcase of books and one bag a piece for the summer I don't speak a word of Italian Except for Campari and soda for two, how much is a Lire Yes, a villa will do and a breeze, in Tuscany please What if we spent all of our days, improving our minds, learning new ways to be lazy It wouldn't be too much of a strain Relax after breakfast till lunch comes around Can't wait for dinner, oh, I need to lie down And refuel, out by the pool What if the ancients were lazy like us Too blissed out to paint, to sketch or to sculpt Just as relaxed as the tower of Pisa
