Franc moved his 14 bambinos up the hill,
he made his name from stomachs he would fill.
But don't eat too much or your stomach will ache,
and don't be lured away from the money you will rake.
Explanation:
Francisco Yarusso was the founder of his restaurant and once lived in the hollow with his 14 children. The word ache was for Payne Avenue. And the word lured is for Bates street.
