The Cannelloni

Inspired by "The Lonely" by Christina Perri
Reimagined with a cannelloni twist (and just a little help from AI)
The Cannelloni

(Piano intro, similar to the original)

The oven's on, it's getting late

Another night, a hungry state

The sauce is simmering, a fragrant steam

But one thing's missing, it would seem

(Chorus)

Oh, the cannelloni, lying flat and bare

Waiting for a filling, someone who will care

Each hollow tube, a silent plea

Oh, the cannelloni, so lonely without me

I mix the ricotta, spinach bright and green

A touch of nutmeg, a culinary scene

My fingers work, a gentle guide

Stuffing each one, side by side

(Chorus)

Oh, the cannelloni, starting to take form

Soon to be embraced, sheltered from the storm

Each filled embrace, a whispered sigh

Oh, the cannelloni, no longer will they lie

The béchamel whispers, a creamy white embrace

Blanketing them softly, leaving not a trace

A sprinkle of Parmesan, a golden hue

Anticipation, growing anew

(Bridge)

They bake in the warmth, a bubbling sound

Flavors melding, all around

From simple pasta, a dish takes flight

A comforting presence in the fading light

(Chorus)

Oh, the cannelloni, nestled warm and deep

A culinary comfort, secrets they will keep

Each cheesy bite, a taste of glee

Oh, the cannelloni, you're no longer lonely, you see

(Outro)

No longer lonely...

Just delicious...

Cannelloni...

(Piano fades)
