Parcheggi abusivi, applausi abusivi, villette abusive, abusi sessuali abusivi 
Tanta voglia di ricominciare, abusiva 

Appalti truccati, trapianti truccati, motorini truccati che scippano donne truccate
Il visagista delle dive è truccatissimo

Papaveri e papi, la donna cannolo, una lacrima sul visto 

Italia sì, Italia no
Italia sì, Italia no, Italia bum, la strage impunita 
Puoi dir di sì, puoi dir di no, ma questa è la vita
Prepariamoci un caffè, non rechiamoci al caffè
C'è un commando che ci aspetta per assassinarci un po'
 
Commando sì, commando no, commando omicida 
Commando pam, commando papapapapam, ma se c'è la partita 
Il commando non ci sta e allo stadio se ne va 
Sventolando il bandierone non più sangue scorrerà 
Infetto sì, infetto no, quintali di plasma
Primario sì, primario dai, primario fantasma

Io fantasma non sarò e al tuo plasma dico no
Se dimentichi le pinze fischiettando ti dirò
Ti devo una pinza
Ce l'ho nella panza 

Viva il crogiuolo di pinze 
Viva il crogiuolo di panze 
Quanti problemi irrisolti ma un cuore grande così

Italia sì, Italia no, Italia gnamme, se famo du spaghi 
Italia sob, Italia prot, la terra dei cachi
Una pizza in compagnia, una pizza da solo
Un totale di due pizze e l'Italia è questa qua

Fufafifì fufafifì, Italia evviva
Italia perfetta, perepepè nanananai
 
Una pizza in compagnia, una pizza da solo 
In totale molto pizzo, ma l'Italia non ci sta
Italia sì, Italia no, 
Italia sì, uè, Italia no 
Uè uè uè uè uè 

Perchè la terra dei cachi è la terra dei cachi
