So don’t write it down don’t tell anyone
You see her comin’ you tell me to run
Everybody! La la la la la la Hey!
Start it off with your favorite 10 to 12-inch sauté pan
Heat the olive oil medium-high ‘til almost smoking.
Add the onion and celery cook until it’s softened
Then add the tomatoes, the capers the currants,
the pine nuts, marsala, the red pepper flakes, add in your
fennel seeds, throw in the bay leaf and bring it to a boil

Lay the shrimp in the tomato mix in one layer
If you hear gramma comin’ say your prayers
Cover up over lower the heat, and simmer for four minutes.
Take off of the heat, salt and pepper to taste,
Leave for 5 minutes to sit in one place.
We got some time pour out some wine and everybody sing

shhh- She don’t like for me to tell you but I’m gonna
So don’t write it down don’t tell anyone
You see her comin’ you tell me to run
You think I’m kidding but she got a gun
Gramma got eyes in the back of her head
She catches us and we gonna be dead
Everybody! La la la la la la Hey!
You think that it looks good just wait until you taste
But you tell Gramma’s secret she gonna break your face
You can serve her dish nice and warm or you can let cool
Better keep quiet I heard a noise and Gramama no fool
(Gramma Appears!) (audience) Run! Oh No! Better take it to go!
