Lyrics

Shout it on the mountain;
Sing it out at sea:
How I love Maria.
She’s the girl for me.

We met late last summer.
Beneath the autumn leaves
She said she would like me
To meet her family.

Every Saturday the family congregates
In Queens, Far Rockaway.
There’s abundant wine and food
Family values, too, are on display.

Pretty like Maria,
Though not quite as young,
Her mama kissed a greeting
Slipping me the tongue.

We walked in and the beagle
Growled and sniffed my crotch.
Her father sat there grinning,
Drooling in his scotch.

Every Saturday the family congregates
In Queens, Far Rockaway.
There’s abundant wine and food
Family values, too, are on display.

Her brother’s back on welfare,
Little sis a petty thief,
Her cousin’s been professin’
A newly found belief.

Shout it on the mountains;
Sing it out the sea:
How I love Maria
And her family.

Every Saturday the family congregates
In Queens, Far Rockaway.
There’s abundant wine and food
Family values, too, are on display.
