Your essesnce unearthed in Corsica
off the western Italian coast
when it comes to sweet and zesty
you are by far the most
you crossed the mighty ocean
seeds in the pockets of Peter Pieri
then down a roaring river
to the land of columbia valley
loved for earthy sweetness
your round and jumbo size
so much were you cherished
you put tears of joy in their eyes
gently selected and coddled
harvested each year carefully
the Italian growers of the valley
knew what a treasure you could be
demand spread round the state
soon America knew of your fame
so important are you today
you carry the valley’s name
whether breaded deep fried or raw
you’re the gem of WA Blue Mts.
you’ve enjoy a century of ya ya
Walla Walla — ooo-la-la
