What If We Went To Italy

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 lira
 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 'til 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
 Not ever missing that old Mona Lisa
 What if we never got back on the plane
 As summer turned colder and then warmer again
 Losing all track of the passing of years
 'Til it no longer mattered how long we'd been here
 ♪
 What if we went to Italy
 Maybe next year, just you and me for the summer
 I still can't speak any Italian
 ♪
 But words are replaced under Siennese skies
 By nothing so much as a nod
 And a sigh, and a wish to be always like this
