[Verse 1]
I’m at the club scene where i met miss green eyes
She said
“I can tell by size of your schnoz that you’re Zach Sherwin and i’m totally TWIâ€
I said
“Oh, you’re a Nas fan also that great
We are clearly soulmates who are fated to date…â€
She said
“Hold up, wait
I’m flattered, your coming on to fast and hot though
You need to be more Legato Gelatoâ€
I said
“What? Legato Gelto?
That’s a slang term whose meaning i do not know
,but i’m intrigued by the sound of it.â€
She said
“Well let me break it down a bit…
You may of heard the word Legato
If you’ve ever studied music before
When it’s written down on a musical score
Then the composer is directing you
To play or sing all the words smoothly
And connected to-the othersâ€
She sang, “LaaaLaaaLaaaâ€
“That’s Legato; Not ‘La! La! La!’
That’s staccato, the opposite of what legato is
And don’t tell me you don’t know what gelato is?â€
I said
“Yes i sure do it’s a dessert
That you gotta keep ice cool in the freezer
And now i’m no longer dazed and confused
I think i understand the phrase that you used
Does it mean ‘Keep it Chill’?
She said, “Yupâ€
I said, “thought soâ€
Smooth and cool
Legato Legato
[Bridge]
Once again it’s Legato Gelato
Smooth like legato, cool like Gelato
It’s my new catchphrase
It’s my new buzzword
It’s my new motto Legato Gelato
And, check this out
Take the word Legato
Now take the L and the G
And switch the two spots
And look what you’ve got. Whoa!
Legato turns into gelato
[Verse 2]
I said
“Ok i’m taking things slow
And i get the lingo
Can i give you a ringâ€
“Noâ€, she said, †I don’t thing so
You came on to strong, i felt smothered and
I need a lover-man who won’t let me have the upper-handâ€
I said, “Nah miss you got it all wrong
You’re a character i made up for my Legato Gelato song
You don’t exist if I don’t imagine you
How ’bout that for high status Bo?â€
She said,†Damn, that was Legato Gelato
Way to step it up with that macho bravado
Take me home now you wild stallion
But first do a victory lap rap as a finally Hunâ€
I said, “Ok, I’m smooth and Glossy
And frosty as Autumn in Oslo
When the temperature drops as low
And the cost as shopping at Costco
Fluid and easy and keeping it cool
Like i’m eating a soup of Gazpacho
Cause i do it legato when i’m scooping gelatoâ€
