Ski Trip

[Hook: Federica Napoli]
Oysters and champagne, an avalanche is coming down
I swipe the skipass, ski trip1
I fill up the SUV, my bank account goes down
When I go up, ski trip
 
[Verse 1: Eddy Veerus]
Me and my bros we’re a must at the parties at Cortina2
Worse than the cast of a film by Vanzina3
Moncler or a sheepskin jacket and a turtleneck4
In the shoes of Boldi and De Sica
I see milfs on the ski lift
I’m putting down the skis, going to the Super G5
It’s a bit chilly outside, time for après-ski6
Sunshine and whiskey, libido is here
 
[Bridge: Federica Napoli]
December will come
Milan will be on Montblanc7
And every night will always be
Like Nainggolan’s New Year’s 8
 
[Hook: Federica Napoli]
Oysters and champagne, an avalanche is coming down
I swipe the skipass, ski trip
I fill up the SUV, my bank account goes down
When I go up, ski trip
 
[Verse 2: Roberta Branchini]
Ooh, ooh
Baby check out that look, ooh9
Patagonia and Moonboot, ooh10
I’m coming down the Aretù11
I go up to Courma without snow chains
And I don’t take the first turn well
I’m going to plow snow
On the black slopes12
If I stop to drink
 
[Chorus: Federica Napoli]
More champagne, an avalanche is coming down
I swipe the skipass, ski trip
I fill up the SUV, my bank account goes down
When I go up, ski trip
