The Pizza Man song is a camp classic. This is one of those songs that has many different versions and they are all fun. All of the catch phrases rhyme (somewhat) with “man” and a lot of emphasis is usually put on the rhyme.
The leader sings each line and then the audience repeats it. Each verse has an action to go with it. At the end of the verse, the catch phrase and action for all of the previous verses are repeated. Some suggested actions are shown in brackets below, but the leader can make up anything appropriate.
If you don’t know the tune, just search it on YouTube.
