The I Love Pizza Song

by bigedude33 

It's all about pizza

It's all about pizza

I like the pizza.
I love the pizza going to eat a lot and put it in my tummy it hits a spot, oh I like pizza I like it a lot.
Oh oh oh
Pizza, pizza, I love to eat the pizza
Pizza very hot pizza, not cold pizza
Pizza... actually I like cold pizza too.
Pepperoni pepperoni pepperoni, sausage, ham, ham, ham
Pepperoni pepperoni pepperoni, sausage, ham, mushrooms, mushrooms and maybe onions and peppers
But probably not anchovies, no onions, no onions dog
Pizza seasoning, that's cruel, that's cruel
Cheesy in the crusty crusty, oh
Pizza pizza, oh pizza pizza pizza, yummy mushrooms
Oh don't—somebody just wrote "cat pizza", cat pizza, it's not very tasty and it's illegal.
I like pizza.
