Some of this lines are just classic..."laid out to dry in the warm, alpine sun..." Toasts are drunk in these "boccalinos"

this was aired on tv almost 50 years back on one of the news station. The news station recieved a flood of calls on. "I didnt know speghetti grows on trees" or "how can I grow my own speghetti tree". Funny how the callers did not not relize that the day was April 1st.
